Woods wasn’t the only high-profile golfer to get up to a bit of mischief.
Cameron Smith announced that due to ‘stubbing his toe’ he will take some time off and not feature in LIV Golf Miami this week and instead be replaced by influencer Fat Perez.
Smith stated: “Fat Perez has been performing well and is the right choice for the weekend. Good luck Fats and Flow Bros forever.”
Fat Perez, who is one-third of the ‘Bob Does Sports’ YouTube trio, said: “This year’s been full of surprises, but this was completely unexpected… eager to play my first pro tournament, I won’t let you down Ca’’n Cam. Rest them piggies up and let the Flow Bro take down Miami
