Cameron Smith Champions Team Format in LIV Golf Triumph

Cameron Smith is on a mission to change the way people think about golf. After leading his all-Australian Ripper GC team to victory in LIV Golf’s first teams playoff in Adelaide, Smith believes that the teams format is the key to the future of the sport.

Smith’s team, consisting of Marc Leishman, Matt Jones, and Lucas Herbert, triumphed over the all-South African Stingers GC team led by Louis Oosthuizen in a thrilling finish at The Grange. The Australians emerged victorious on the second extra hole, showcasing the intensity and excitement that the teams format brings to the game.

Despite criticism from golf traditionalists, Smith is adamant that the teams format is essential to the LIV Golf concept. He emphasized the camaraderie and teamwork that comes with playing alongside good friends, a feeling that he believes has been missing in professional golf.

Leishman echoed Smith’s sentiments, stating that critics of the teams format are missing the point. He highlighted the unique and inclusive nature of LIV Golf, which allows for a more collaborative and engaging experience for both players and fans.

The playoff in Adelaide was a testament to the success of the teams format, with both the Australians and South Africans delivering record-low scores in a nail-biting finish. Smith and Leishman’s partnership proved to be the winning formula, as they outperformed the Stingers in the playoff to secure the victory.

As LIV Golf continues to gain momentum, Smith and Leishman are confident that the teams format will revolutionize the sport and attract a new generation of fans. With its emphasis on teamwork and camaraderie, LIV Golf is proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of professional golf.
