Smith said: ‘I don’t think there’s any kind of hatred going on between the players. We are all happy where we are, and I’m just as happy for the guys winning out on the PGA Tour as I am for the LIV golfers.’ Smith has more reason than most to harbour some bitterness, having been denied the opportunity to defend his Players’ Championship crown after being banned by the PGA Tour for joining LIV. The Australian is still No 6 in the world despite being on the LIV Golf circuit, which does not offer world ranking points.
