The latest chapter in the feud between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour revolves around the No. 2 player in the world, Cameron Smith, who just joined the Saudi-backed tour. 

Smith won last year’s Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, and one of the perks of that victory is a reserved prime parking space with the winner’s name in front of the clubhouse in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. 

The win also earned Smith the right to play there whenever he chooses. 

However, TPC Sawgrass GM Derek Sprague told Golfweek both of those privileges have been revoked.

"If they go to LIV, they don’t have any of their tour privilege at TPC properties," Sprague said. 

A replica bag of Smith’s winning clubs was also removed from the Sawgrass pro shop, according to Golfweek. 

Smith has lived right down the street from Sawgrass since 2015 and has trained there. But he is entirely focused on LIV Golf.

"[Money] was definitely a factor in making that decision. I won’t ignore that or say that wasn’t a reason," Smith told Golf Digest. "It was obviously a business decision, for one, and an offer I couldn’t ignore."
