Overview
- Cameron Smith has fallen to No. 345 in the Official World Golf Ranking after missing the cut at all four majors in 2025.
- Smith says he will adopt a more relaxed, “cruisy” mindset and targets a reset at home at the Australian PGA Championship and the Australian Open.
- Brooks Koepka missed three major cuts this year and has dropped to No. 159 in Data Golf’s rankings after a season of inconsistent results.
- Former pros Mark Allen and Nick O’Hern argued on the Talk Birdie to Me podcast that the switch to LIV has “backfired” for Smith and Koepka, citing the tour’s environment and schedule as possible factors.
- Koepka has said he will honor his current LIV contract before evaluating his future, with reports indicating the deal runs through the 2026 season.
