Cameron Smith, the captain of the Ripper GC team in LIV Golf, has laughed off rumors of retirement and stated he has received 'every assurance' that LIV Golf will continue despite recent funding uncertainties following Saudi Arabia's withdrawal of support. Smith, who has earned over $50 million in prize money since joining LIV, emphasized the league's commitment to its players during a teleconference from Virginia, where LIV's next tournament is set to begin. He mentioned that LIV Golf's CEO, Scott O'Neil, is enthusiastic about the league's future and ongoing efforts to secure private investors, aiming for a $300 million valuation for its teams. Smith acknowledged his struggles in major tournaments, having missed the cut in all four last year, and is making adjustments to improve his performance. Despite the challenges, he remains optimistic about his career and the league's trajectory.
