Australian golf superstar Cameron Smith is the latest big name confirmed to be heading Down Under this summer.

The LIV Golf team skipper has confirmed he is in the field for the Australian PGA Championship in November.

It means Smith will be on show in his home state of Queensland, and joins fellow Aussie stars Min Woo Lee and Jason Day in the field.

Smith won the Australian PGA Championship in 2017, 2018, and 2022.

“Coming home to Queensland is a highlight of my year,” Smith said.

“It’s always special to be back playing in front of my family, friends and all the golf fans and hopefully being up near the lead.

“This year, I’ll be playing in both the BMW Australian PGA Championship and the Queensland PGA Championship which is going to be something different for me but I’m really looking forward to both weeks back home.

“Of course I’d love to win both but it’s going to be difficult with the fields that will be at the two tournaments.

“I think playing at Nudgee will be good preparation for Royal Queensland and hopefully will have me at my best to attempt to take back the Joe Kirkwood Cup.”

Smith climbed to No.2 in the world rankings in 2022 in what was a breakout year for the Aussie.

He won The Players Championship, narrowly missed out at The Masters and then won his first major at that year’s Open Championship.

He stunned the sport a few weeks later when he defected to LIV for a reported $140 million sign-on fee.

Smith is yet to confirm whether he will also play the Australian Open in Melbourne the week after the Australian PGA Championship.

The Australian PGA Championship and the Australian Open will once again be broadcast on Nine and 9Now.
