Golfer Cameron Smith declined to comment on reportedly signing to the Saudi-backed LIV golf series at a press conference for the FedEx Playoffs in Memphis. Smith, whose apparent decision to join the controversial Saudi tour was let slip by compatriot Cameron Percy, said that he would be the sole source of news if and when he decided to confirm.

SMITH: Yeah. You know, my goal here is to win the FedEx Cup playoffs, that's all I'm here for. If there's something I need to say regarding the PGA Tour or LIV, it will come from Cameron Smith, not Cameron Percy. I'm a man of my word and whenever you guys need to know anything it'll be said by me.

REPORTER: And just following up on that. You being a man of your word. You know the telegraph is reporting that you've signed and are going. Would you like to say yes or no to that?

SMITH: I have no comment to that. I like I said, I'm here to play the FedEx Cup playoffs. That's been my focus the last week and a half. That's what I'm here to do. I'm here to win the FedEx Cup playoffs. And like I said, it will come from me, won't come from Cameron Percy.
