Australian golf superstar Cameron Smith open to return to unified world tour, but not keen on playing more

Australian golf superstar Cameron Smith is open to a return to a unified world tour – but not necessarily if it means playing more. Smith, who currently competes on the LIV Golf circuit, has been a prominent figure in the golfing world since his defection from the PGA Tour after winning the British Open in 2022.

The prospect of a unified world tour has been a hot topic in the golfing community, especially with the likes of Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, and Phil Mickelson joining Smith on the Saudi-backed LIV tour. Talks of unification have been ongoing, with the PGA Tour announcing a surprise merger with LIV last June.

Smith, speaking to Australian reporters from his Florida base, expressed his thoughts on the potential unification. While he acknowledges the desire for a unified tour among fans and players, he is hesitant about committing to a heavier tournament schedule.

The 30-year-old golfer values the time he has been able to spend with his family due to the lighter schedule on the LIV tour. He is unsure if he is willing to sacrifice that time by playing more events on a unified tour.

Despite his reservations, Smith is looking forward to upcoming events, including the Masters at Augusta National and the LIV Golf Adelaide at Grange Golf Club. He believes that the LIV Golf Adelaide event was a highlight for many players last year and is eagerly anticipating its return.

In conclusion, Smith remains focused on his love for the game and is content with playing golf regardless of the tour structure. While the possibility of a unified tour is intriguing, he is prioritizing his personal life and well-being.
