Cam Smith has suggested that he would look to return to the PGA Tour if LIV Golf did end up folding in the coming years. <\/p>\n

Smith remains one of the biggest names on LIV. He handed the league a significant boost earlier in the year when he snubbed the chance to follow Brooks Koepka and return to the PGA Tour. <\/p>\n

Young, Matsuyama, Koivun, Thomas\u2026 or someone else? \ud83c\udfcc\ufe0f<\/p>\n

But LIV seems to be in big trouble right now. There has been no clarification over whether the league has been able to secure the investment that will keep them in business beyond this season. <\/p>\n

The New York Post<\/a> recently reported that Scott O\u2019Neil was growing confident that he was closing in on securing the $250 million investment he was looking for. <\/p>\n

But that will seemingly not solve all of LIV\u2019s issues. <\/p>\n

Cam Smith speaks about the prospect of returning to the PGA Tour if LIV Golf folds<\/p>\n

The account Flushing It<\/a> reported that seven players had already decided that they will leave LIV at the end of the season, regardless of whether O\u2019Neil seals the fresh investment.<\/p>\n

It does appear Cam Smith<\/a> will not be one of those pushing to leave. Speaking to the media ahead of LIV New York, the Australian spoke about whether he had planned an exit strategy. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a positive guy, so I\u2019ve made no effort to go seek anything else,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t really understand what is going to happen. I think it\u2019s all up in the air. I know that the LIV team is working hard to get us to play next year and working hard for us. They do a lot of hard work behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want it to work, really, to be honest. It\u2019s great fun out here. The team that we\u2019ve got, I feel like we make each other better, better people and better golfers as well. Yeah, I\u2019d hate to see it go away. We\u2019ll see what happens.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike I said before, we\u2019ve got a player meeting this afternoon. I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll get some more info. But at the moment we\u2019re preparing to keep playing and keep the team alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was then asked whether he would be interested in returning to the PGA Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, if it was the only option, I think that\u2019s where everyone would want to be for sure, 100 percent. It would go back to old times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Whether Cam Smith currently expects LIV Golf\u2019s Team Championship to take place<\/p>\n

While the future may look a little brighter for LIV, there continues to be doubts over whether they will play all of their remaining events this season.<\/p>\n

Several players believe the Team Championship in Michigan will be cancelled<\/a>, with Martin Kaymer suggesting that there is just a five per cent chance of the event going ahead. <\/p>\n

Interestingly, Smith suggested that there is still optimism about the season finale. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been told to prepare as though it\u2019s going ahead. So we\u2019re expecting it to happen. I\u2019m really unsure, but we had a great year there last year in Detroit, and we\u2019re hoping we get back there. It\u2019s a great golf course, a great venue, and the crowds really turned up as well. Yeah, would be disappointed if it wasn\u2019t,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cLike I said, we\u2019re expecting to play. Hopefully we get there. I know we\u2019ve got a player meeting this afternoon, so I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll hear a little bit more, but as it stands right now, all I can comment on is we\u2019re expecting to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is good news for LIV that Smith seems committed to staying with the league. No country has done a better job of embracing LIV than Australia, and Smith is Ripper\u2019s captain. <\/p>\n

But there are clearly a lot of hurdles still to clear before the 2022 Open Championship winner is teeing it up in a LIV event in 2027. <\/p>\n
