With a player meeting expected to unveil more information to LIV Golf members who are uncertain what lies ahead, Cameron Smith said he's preparing for the season-ending LIV Golf Team Championship as if it's still happening, even though fellow league member Martin Kaymer was quoted as saying he thought there was a 5 percent chance the event would go in Michigan as planned.
"We've been told to prepare as though it's going ahead. So we're expecting it to happen," Smith said during a press conference on Tuesday. "I'm really unsure, but we had a great year there last year in Detroit, and we're hoping we get back there. It's a great golf course, a great venue, and the crowds really turned up as well. Yeah, would be disappointed if it wasn't."
The circuit's turbulent 2026 season appeared poised to take another significant hit last week, when reports leaked that the league was expected to announce the cancellation of its team championship at The Cardinal in Plymouth, marking the second event scrubbed from this year's schedule.
The social media account "Flushing It" first reported the development, while LIV officials had not responded to Golfweek's request for comment.
The news followed April's decision to postpone LIV Golf New Orleans, an event that was originally slated for July and has yet to receive a replacement date. Combined with seven weeks without competition before last week's LIV Golf UK event, the move underscores a season that has been defined as much by uncertainty as by on-course action.
