ORLANDO, Fla. – The 18 players who joined LIV Golf and are in next week’s field at the Masters have plenty to prove. Just ask Cameron Smith, the highest-ranked player on the breakaway circuit.
“For me I’m trying to go there and play the best golf I can,” Smith said Thursday at the LIV Golf Orlando event. “Is it important for LIV? I think it is important to go there and play well. Really show a high standard of golf which we know we’re all capable of.”
Smith, who won last year’s Open Championship and Players Championship before joining LIV Golf, finished third at last year’s Masters and he said there are plenty of LIV players who could make an impact at the season’s first major despite general criticism about the LIV Golf format and fields.
