Cameron Smith says he will stay on LIV and decline PGA Tour offer

Cameron Smith told reporters he will not rejoin the PGA Tour under the Returning Member Program and will remain on LIV; Brooks Koepka accepted the PGA Tour offer earlier.

Cameron Smith told reporters he will not return to the PGA Tour under its Returning Member Program and plans to remain with LIV Golf. Smith left the PGA Tour in 2022, weeks after winning The Open Championship and after a breakout season that included The Players Championship. He has three wins on LIV, most recently in August 2023, and he missed all four major cuts in 2025. The PGA Tour offered a one-time Returning Member Program this week, and Brooks Koepka accepted that offer. Key facts: - Cameron Smith said he is not interested in rejoining the PGA Tour under the Returning Member Program. - The PGA Tour's offer had a deadline reported as Feb. 2 and was described as a one-time program by PGA Tour Enterprises CEO Brian Rolapp. - Brooks Koepka accepted the Returning Member Program and will be added to certain events under conditions outlined in the memo. - The program applies only to players who won a major or The Players Championship from 2022 through 2025; Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Smith were listed as eligible. - Smith has three LIV victories, with his most recent in August 2023, and he missed all four major cuts in 2025. Summary: Smith's decision keeps him on LIV while the PGA Tour's one-time Returning Member Program proceeds for other eligible players. Koepka's acceptance represents one path back under the memo's terms, and the other named players have a limited window to decide. Undetermined at this time.
