Of all the PGA Tour golfers who defected to LIV Golf last year, Cam Smith probably disappointed golf fans the most when he departed for the breakaway league. But do fans miss him enough to get excited if they see him in the crowd at a PGA event this year?
Smith won’t be able to defend his title at The Players Championship 2023 this weekend since his LIV Golf affiliation means he is banned from PGA events. But the Australian, who lives close to TPC Sawgrass where the Players takes place, told GOLF.com he wouldn’t mind going to the event as a spectator.
“I’d love to get out there,” Smith admitted. “I don’t know how it would be received. But even getting out there, watching, walking around in the crowd might be pretty funny.”
