Despite Winning the PIP Money, Tiger Woods Sidelined by LIV Golf Defector Cameron Smith in a Stunning Stat

Since his debut as a professional golfer, Tiger Woods has always been the face and the most searched entity in golf. Even after 25 years of his career, he still dominates the golf community and proved the same by winning the PGA Tour Player Impact Program two times in a row. Nonetheless, the latest report suggests that another golfer has replaced Woods and that his replacement is a LIV Golf Defector! 

Cameron Smith has replaced the 15-time major champion and become the most searched golfer in Australia. According to the report from Australian Golf Digest, the 150th Open Champion ranked the highest with a high margin from Woods. And no other professional golfers were able to get a search interest anywhere near the top two in Australia. 

Many LIV Golf players dominate the top 10 list in which Cameron Smith replaced Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods won a whopping $15 million as the winner of the PIP fund recently. One of the main criteria for winning the title was to become the top Google search data. However, he has recently lost first place to Cameron Smith. 

According to the latest data, Smith’s search interest index is 100.00, thanks to his 3rd place at the Masters and his victory at the 150th Open Championship. His switch to LIV Golf from PGA Tour and the subsequent victory in Chicago also helped him get this result. Moreover, his Australian PGA Championship victory last month also led him to top the list. 

Notably, other than Woods, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, and Justin Thomas, all the other male entities in the list are LIV Golf defectors. While Smith got first place, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, and Dustin Johnson got a position above JT (10) on the list.

The sexiest woman in the world is part of the top 5 on the list 

Maxim’s Sexiest Woman Alive in 2022, Paige Spiranac, got fourth place on the top 10 list. Notably, she has already amassed more followers than every other professional golfer on Instagram. And she has now begun to dominate Google search data in Australia too. 

Other than Spiranac, the 2022 CME Group Tour Championship winner Lydia Ko is the only other female entity on the list. 

Here is the list of the top 10 golfers and their Google search index of Australian audiences:
