Cameron Smith is one of LIV Golf’s 15 captains, and the Ripper GC skipper has revealed the proposed peace deal with the PGA Tour is a common discussion in meetings
Cameron Smith has become the latest star to provide his insight into the ongoing negotiations between the PGA Tour and Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF).
On the back of a shock framework agreement announcement last June, the PGA Tour have been in talks with PIF ever since over the former ending their ongoing fallout with LIV Golf. Smith became one of the big names to make the move from the Tour to the LIV setup two years ago

There are hopes however that the proposed deal which is currently being negotiated will allow players to compete freely across the two separate tours. Speaking earlier this week, Smith admitted he tends to stay out of the off-course politics, but ‘merger’ talks come up frequently in meetings with the 15 LIV captains.
“We definitely have some meetings between the players and captains fairly frequently where it’s often brought up,” he said per Fox Sports of the negotiations. “I don’t like to get caught up in that side of the game, but judging from what we’ve heard and what has been happening that everyone is aware of is kind of a step in the right direction and hopefully they can keep that ball rolling.
“It’s a really big process that everyone underestimates how big it was going to be. It’s taking some time but I feel like there are some positive things happening.” Last week’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship proved to be a meeting ground for those on both sides of the negotiations.
