However, the honor received little to no publicity from major media houses, which left even LIV Golf scratching their heads. However, a social media storm brewed over the decision and has left Smith with multitudinous fans across the world.

A few leading journalists have also come forward in deciding their pick between Scheffler and Smith. CBS Sports golf writer, Kyle Porter, recently shared a tweet of a mysterious golfer with his footwear apparel, on which fans scorched replies of Smith as the best golfer on the planet. Here’s a selection of those tweets:
Didn’t realize Cam Smith wore Nike, good to know.

Additionally, some were pleasantly surprised with the footwear choices. The unknown sported a pair of special-edition Tiger Woods shoes, along with white Jordan socks. While Porter contemplated it to be referring to golfer Jordan Spieth, we think it belonged to the line of basketball apparel and clothing produced by Nike, the Air Jordan.
Clearly, some fans were amazed yet excited to see the real golfer who was sporting these products. A few were even surprised to take a guess on Smith’s association with Nike, considering he is now a LIV Golfer and Tiger Woods, the face of Nike, is a staunch critic of the rebel league.
