Cam Smith started in the box seat to win an extra $29 million as the overall points winner of the LIV Golf season, but a double-bogey on the 15th hole denied him the chance to add to his tally.
Australian star Cameron Smith’s bid to become LIV Golf’s individual champion and cap an extraordinary $US50 million year has been thwarted at the final hurdle in Saudi Arabia.
But it marked a frustrating end to a money-spinning campaign for 30-year-old Smith, who started the tournament in pole position to complete earnings of more than $79 million over the year on the lucrative Saudi-based breakaway tour. Still, the 2022 British Open champion had the rather substantial consolation of winning the $16 million prize for finishing second in the individual standings, with Gooch finishing on 192 points to his 170, with Koepka third on 152.
