Queensland's golfing superstar Cam Smith has broken his silence about his recent form slump, revealing his burning determination to rediscover his championship-winning touch ahead of a massive Australian summer of golf.
The former British Open champion hasn't been shy about acknowledging his struggles on the course, telling fans he's "not playing good golf" at the moment. But rather than making excuses, the Brisbane-born professional is rolling up his sleeves and putting in the hard yards to turn things around.
The Road to Redemption
Smith's comeback plan is crystal clear: he's targeting the Australian PGA Championship at Royal Queensland this November as the perfect stage to launch his resurgence. The home crowd advantage and familiar courses could provide just the spark he needs to ignite his game.
"I'm really looking forward to getting home and playing some golf," Smith shared with genuine excitement. "There's something about playing in front of Australian crowds that brings out the best in me."
LIV Golf's Australian Expansion
The timing couldn't be more crucial, with LIV Golf confirming plans to bring a team event Down Under in 2026. Smith, who captains the all-Australian Ripper GC team, sees this as a game-changer for golf in Australia and is determined to be in peak form when the global spotlight shines on Australian fairways.
"Having LIV events here will be massive for Australian golf," Smith emphasised. "It gives young Aussie kids something to aspire to and shows them they can make it on the world stage."
Balancing Act: Golf and Business
While his focus remains firmly on his game, Smith has been busy off the course too. His recent appearance at the official opening of the new Patrons Bar at Brisbane's Victoria Park Golf Complex shows he's building his brand while staying connected to his Queensland roots.
The golf star's honest assessment of his current form and clear-eyed determination to improve demonstrates the professionalism that made him one of the world's top players. Australian golf fans will be eagerly watching as their hometown hero works his way back to the winner's circle.
