LIV Golf Rumors: Cam Smith, Joaquin Niemann Lead Pack of 6 Golfers Officially Joining LIV
It's been rumored for a while but it was finally made official earlier this morning. Cam Smith and Joaquin Niemann will officially be joining LIV Golf according to the latest reports from Dylan Dethier.
As we previously mentioned, it's been rumored for over a month that Cam Smith will be joining LIV Golf but still, it doesn't make this official statement any less significant. Supposedly, he was offered $90 million to make the jump over to LIV Golf after his British Open win.
The 29-year-old, who is very much still in his prime, ditching the PGA for LIV Golf is a huge deal and it looks like this is only the beginning.
