Klayman: This Was a Dishonest Hit by the PGA Tour to Prevent Smith From Winning the Fedex Cup and Then Joining the LIV Golf Tour! Nothing New From Monahan & Co.

Cameron Smith, who was attempting to become the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world and is reportedly set to join the rival LIV Golf series, was assessed a 2-stroke penalty before the start of Sunday’s final round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee.

According to a statement from the PGA Tour, Smith played his ball from the improper spot on the fourth hole during Saturday’s third round. The tour said Smith “was assessed a two-stroke penalty for a breach of Rule 14.7 [playing ball from the wrong spot].”
