He will play at Donald Trump’s Doral course at the LIV round in Miami this weekend before the Masters begins at Augusta the following week, starting a period that will make or break his Olympic ambitions. The Australian men’s Olympic places will be confirmed on 17 June ahead of the Paris Games which start on 26 July.
“I have probably got another four or five weeks off every year the last couple of years and been able to spend more time in Australia. I don’t know if I’m willing to sacrifice being away from my family and stuff,” he said.Smith played alongside his LIV teammate Marc Leishmann for Australia at the Olympics in Tokyo, and finished in a tie for 10th – one shot out of the medals – after bogeying the final hole.
