Cameron Smith and his long-time caddie, Sam Pinfold, took part in a round-the-world putting challenge at LIV Golf Team Championship in Michigan that involved plenty of Australia-New Zealand sledging.
While Sebastian Munoz and Jon Rahm split the spotlight at LIV Golf Indianapolis, the former winning the tournament and the latter clinching the overall season-long individual championship, Australia’s contingent experienced a mixed bag.
Jon Rahm was locked in an unlikely battle with five-time winner this year, Joaquin Niemann, for LIV Golf’s season-long individual title during its Indianapolis finale that concluded Sunday (Monday AEST).

Cameron Smith says a thoroughly disappointing campaign at the majors has fired him up to finish the second half of the year with a bang, starting at this week’s LIV Golf UK tournament.
At LIV Golf UK on Wednesday, two-time major winner Rahm looked inspired when discussing the news confirmed by the European team on Monday that the 2031 Ryder Cup will return to Spain.
Mark your calendars: LIV Golf Adelaide is coming back to The Grange Golf Club from February 13–15 2026, promising an even bigger and bolder sporting spectacle.
You’ll have to forgive Marc Leishman, who has played in just one major championship since the end of 2022. During that three-year span, he clearly forgot that they can be absolute slogs when it comes to pace of play.
