Скачать или смотреть Cameron Smith: Tiger Woods gets $1.5B LIV Golf contract offer & Phil Mickelson angry comments - LIVE

Cameron Smith defiantly told reporters, earlier this year, that if there was any updates to provide on his golfing future, it would come directly from him.

Then, about a fortnight after that claim, LIV Golf announced he was jumping to their ship with a tweet. He may be the reigning Open champion, but his new paymasters are calling the shots.

The Australian is at LIV Chicago, at Sugar Grove, Illinois, this week for the latest 54-hole outing in the Saudi-funded breakaway tour. Smith only recently joined the tour and went close to winning his first event, which would have earned him $4m, at an event in Boston.

Smith was up for a press conference with fellow PGA Tour defectors Matt Wolff and Phil Mickelson, on Friday, and this was a sample of the questions being tossed their way.

Many of the sports reporters that initially attended LIV events to question golfers - about abandoning the PGA and DP World Tours and the breakaway series' ties to the gulf kingdom of Saudi Arabia - have now headed off to concentrate on other stories and events. Many of the LIV pressers now have sycophantic element to them, with more than a few questions seeming to be planted in there.
