Player Overview
Cameron Smith is one of the most gifted short game players and putters in professional golf, possessing a touch and feel around the greens that is virtually unmatched. The Australian won The Open Championship in 2022 with a final-round 64 that demonstrated his ability to score in the most pressure-packed situations. Smith's game is built on elite putting and scrambling — he leads the tour in strokes gained putting when he plays PGA Tour events and has an uncanny ability to get up and down from seemingly impossible positions. His move to LIV Golf has limited his PGA Tour appearances to major championships, but he remains a serious contender at every major he enters. Smith's short game wizardry makes him a unique DFS asset — few players can generate the same scoring from 100 yards and in.
