There are reports that Smith has agreed to sign a deal with LIV Golf for more than that $100 million. LIV Golf has announced six more names that are now in the league for the ‘blood money’. Smith will be making his debut in LIV during the Boston event to be held soon.
Golf fans react to Smith’s entry into LIV Golf
Fans have lost their cool after reading about their favorite golfer giving up on his PGA Tour career. Some of them were expecting this to happen a long time ago. However, the news has brought a tsunami of reactions on Twitter by fans.
People are clearly taking Smith’s decision as a money-making choice. While some are not ready to follow the player on his social media platforms anymore. The golfer might lose a huge amount of fans after he transitions to LIV Golf, just like Phil Mickelson.
Here are a few reactions from Smith’s fans on Twitter:

What did Smith say about LIV Golf earlier?
After rumors of the golfer joining the LIV Golf went viral, reporters asked him about his mindset regarding joining the new league. Smith never denied joining the Saudi-funded tour, nor did he confirm the rumors. While the world was expecting some clarity from his side, all that the media could hear from Smith was “no comment”.
It is now clear why Smith made no statements about the matter earlier since he was waiting to officially sign up with LIV Golf. It is not sure if Norman has plans to bring more players on board as of now. But the PGA Tour will definitely face a major setback after losing Smith.
