Cameron Smith made it official: The Players champ is moving to LIV Golf.
The Tour said the suspensions are because the players, which include Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed, did not receive the required release to play in an event outside the PGA Tour. has lured players by offering a total purse of $255 million for eight 54-hole, no-cut events this year. The average purse has been $20 million, with $4 million to the winner.
Smith won The Players last March in dramatic fashion, firing a closing 66 and saving a bogey on the final hole to beatSpeaking of Lahiri — he's gone, too. The No. 1 player from India joined Smith in bolting for LIV Golf, along with former First Coast residentSmith's countryman Marc Leishman, Joaquin Niemann of Chile and Cameron Tringale.
Losing Smith to the LIV Golf Series was the biggest blow to the PGA Tour so far. Tour supporters had been able to argue to this point that almost all of its former members who went to LIV Golf were past their prime , noted malcontents , or B-list players . Smith also indicated that he could spend more time in his native country by playing less on the LIV Series.
Smith and Leishman have each won six PGA Tour events and Niemann two. Varner, Lahiri and Tringale have never won on the PGA Tour and Tringale holds a dubious mark: he's won more money than any player in PGA Tour history without a victory.
