Cameron Smith says LIV Golf’s future is unclear after backers withdraw support

  • Cameron Smith accepted exclusion from the Presidents Cup after joining LIV Golf.
  • LIV listed Smith as a creditor owed $4.8 million in unsecured claims.
  • LIV’s restructuring requires player approval within 35 days of its bankruptcy filing.

Cameron Smith said he accepts being barred from the Presidents Cup because of his decision to join LIV Golf, but remains uncertain about his competitive future as the league’s Saudi Public Investment Fund backers withdraw support. LIV Golf filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this year, listing Smith as a creditor owed $4.8 million in unsecured claims. Its restructuring agreement with BC Partners Advisors requires at least 50% of players with financial claims, representing at least two-thirds of their total dollar value, to participate in a proposed LIV 2.0 within 35 days of the bankruptcy filing. Smith said he is considering staying with LIV or serving a potential 12-month PGA Tour suspension while possibly playing on the DP World Tour. The 33-year-old Australian has not won since LIV Golf Bedminster in August 2023 and said his recent form has been difficult.
