Cameron Smith

Cameron Smith is an Australian professional golfer who won the 2022 Open Championship at St Andrews and the 2022 Players Championship before joining the LIV Golf League.

Cameron Smith's closing 64 at the 2022 Open Championship at St Andrews — the lowest final round by a champion at the home of golf in the modern era — sealed a one-shot win and confirmed him as the best Australian player of his generation. He excelled through the Australian amateur ranks before turning professional in 2013, playing the PGA Tour of Australasia and Asian Tour before graduating to the PGA Tour in 2015. Smith won his first PGA Tour title at the 2017 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, and his career reached new heights in 2022 with one of the most dominant seasons in recent memory. He opened the year with a record-setting win at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, becoming the first player in PGA Tour history to finish a 72-hole event at 34-under or better, then captured the Players Championship — often called the 'fifth major' — at TPC Sawgrass. Smith's crowning achievement came at the 2022 Open Championship at St Andrews, where he closed with a final-round 64 to win by one shot, becoming the fifth Australian to lift the Claret Jug and the first since Greg Norman in 1993. Shortly after, Smith joined the breakaway LIV Golf League for a reported contract in excess of $100 million, going on to win three individual LIV events and captain the all-Australian Ripper GC to the 2024 LIV Golf Team Championship.
