Chief of which was how he feels his LIV Golf career has progressed, the future of the sport and whether he feels he can win a major championship.
Smith predicted LIV will eventually become ‘the tour’.
“The team and stuff is so exciting,” he said.
“The stuff we talk about at meetings, not only within the team but within the league.
“Being so worldwide is a really great thing for us, we travel a lot but I think we bring a really good product to places that haven’t seen world class golf in a long time.”

He added: “I am really excited as a team but as a tour I think we are going to go from strength to strength and I think as time goes on we are going to have better players, more depth and I think we are going to be the tour.”
Smith previously revealed that he does not plan to make any changes to his LIV side for 2025, which is called Ripper.
Lucas Herbert, Marc Leishman and Matt Jones are Smith’s teammates.
Recently, popular Australian golfer and former World No.1 Jason Day recently revealed he approach LIV over a deal.
But he was rejected given his injury problems.
There is no doubt that Smith would welcome the likes of Day on his team.
Or even former Masters champion Adam Scott.
“Maybe I slacked a little bit”
Smith also told the pod that he found 2024 particularly frustrating and he wasn’t happy with his performances in the majors.
“I think, particularly the last year or this year, I felt like I played okay in the majors,” he said.
“I did a lot of really good prep, and usually when I do really good prep, really good results come for me, but they didn’t really come for me this year.
“That was really frustrating, and that’s made me, particularly through this off-season – whereas last off-season, maybe I slacked a little bit – it has been about golf and the Masters. That is our first major of the year.”
Smith added: “When the British Open finishes, which is in July, everyone automatically sees the whole focus of the golfing world, not only the players but what we can do to make ourselves better before the Masters.
“I feel like I am doing a pretty good job so far. It’s definitely something I need to keep getting better at—preparing in the off-season, making sure I am ready to go—and so far, so good.”
