After winning the Open Championship, it sounds like Cameron Smith may be headed to LIV Golf. Which other PGA Tour professionals might be headed to Greg Norman’s breakaway series?
With all four of golf’s major championship’s behind us, the rumors are beginning to fly. The PGA Tour has already lost several of its high-profile talents to the upstart LIV Golf and it sounds like there’s more on the way.
Rumors began to swirl after Cameron Smith’s win at St. Andrews that the newly crowned Open champion would be joining the LIV Golf. Smith neither confirmed nor denied the rumors are true, leading many to believe that the Australian could be joining his countryman and CEO of LIV Golf, Greg Norman.
But Cam Smith is far from the only PGA Tour pro who’s been rumored to be joining the up-and-coming circuit. Henrik Stenson is said to have joined LIV Golf and will lose his captaincy for next year’s Ryder Cup. So who else, other than Cameron Smith, might be joining LIV?
1. Adam Scott may ditch the PGA Tour for LIV Golf
Speaking of Australians, there are rumors that LIV Golf is looking to create an all-Aussie team. With that in mind, former world’s No. 1 Adam Scott may be on his way to joining Greg Norman’s breakaway series.
Scott, 42, was the best golfer in the world for a 14-week period in 2014. The former Masters champion has not been the same since that year. Scott won the Genesis Invitational in February of 2020, which was his first PGA Tour victory since March of 2016.
Scott has just three PGA Tour wins since 2014 with his highest finish in a major being third place in the 2018 PGA Championship. But still, Adam Scott is a very recognizable face on tour and it’d be a big blow to the PGA to lose a player like the 14-time winner.
