“This is the best event I’ve ever played”: Cam Smith heaps praise on LIV’s record-breaking Australian event

Cam Smith last competed in the LIV Golf Adelaide. Although it was neither a successful nor a flop campaign for Smith, he was quite impressed with the crowd that showed up.

The Adelaide tournament garnered a total of 77,076 in the course of three days. According to Smith, it was the 'best event' since he joined the Saudi-backed league.

He said:

"I would go as far as to say this is the best event I've ever played. I think I'm probably biased a little bit being from Australia, but this is what LIV Golf is about."

Not only Cam Smith, but Phil Mickelson was also quite impressed with the way the crowd showed up in Australia. He said:

"[LIV Golf Adelaide] is really an example of what is possible, and a new opportunity to present golf in a different way and have a different energy and a different feel. What LIV Golf has provided is a great alternative for the traditional ways of golf, and the people here in Australia have embraced it, and so you see a whole different energy."
