Cameron Smith Breaks Silence as LIV Golf Faces Uncertain Future
The future of professional golf is suddenly facing one of its biggest turning points yet and now one of LIV Golf’s biggest stars is speaking out. Cameron Smith says he has been given “every assurance” that LIV Golf will survive beyond 2026, despite growing uncertainty after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund announced it will pull financial backing from the league after this season.
That announcement has sent shockwaves across the golf world. LIV Golf was built on massive Saudi investment and for years the league changed the sport completely. It lured away major champions, split fans and players and forced the PGA Tour into a battle it never expected. But now, with that financial support coming into question, many are asking whether the entire LIV project can continue in its current form.
And that is where Cameron Smith becomes a major figure in this story. The former world number two joined LIV in 2022 in one of the sport’s most high-profile moves, reportedly signing a deal worth close to 200 million dollars. At the time, it symbolized the power and ambition of LIV Golf. But today, Smith is defending the league at a moment when confidence around its future appears to be fading.

Smith insists he is not worried. He says LIV officials have told players the league is preparing for a “multi-partner” future, meaning new investors or business structures could replace the Saudi funding model. He also made it clear he still believes in the product, especially after the huge crowds and atmosphere seen at LIV Adelaide, one of the tour’s most successful events.
But there is another layer to this story and it involves Smith’s own form. Since moving to LIV, his results in major championships have dropped sharply. He missed the cut at the Masters again this year, marking his sixth straight missed cut at a major tournament. His world ranking has fallen dramatically and questions are growing about whether LIV competition is helping or hurting elite players trying to stay sharp for golf’s biggest stages.
Still, Smith says the competitive fire is still there. He says he wants to win again, wants to contend at majors again and believes his confidence is finally returning. That determination matters because golf is entering a critical phase. Fans are watching closely to see whether LIV survives, whether players return to the PGA Tour and whether the divide in professional golf can finally be repaired.
For now, Cameron Smith is standing firmly behind LIV Golf. But with contracts, careers and the future of the sport all hanging in the balance, the pressure on players and league executives has never been greater.
