According to Golf Week, an American golf media outlet, on the 10th, Smith played 1 mile ( approximately 1.6 km) on the TPC Sawgrass Stadium course (par 72, 7256 yards) in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, where the Players Championship opened on the same day . I played a round of 9 holes with my friends at a golf course called ‘The Yards’ that was about 100 meters away. According to a golf course official, Smith played a round with his party in a pleasant atmosphere and took commemorative photos with fans while staying at the golf course. His home is close to TPC Sawgrass. 카지노
Smith won the Players Championship last year, which is called the ‘fifth major tournament’ on the PGA Tour, but he cannot compete in this year’s PGA Tour tournament because he joined LIV Golf. The PGA Tour revoked the membership of players who transferred to LIV Golf and banned them from participating in the game. Smith is the first case in the 49-year history of the Players Championship that a defending champion has not participated in the tournament for reasons other than injury.
He can’t practice or play rounds at TPC Sawgrass, nor can he use the champion parking lot closest to the clubhouse. PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan admitted it was “awkward” about not having a defending champion, but added that “all of this was brought on by Smith himself.”
