Cam Smith had a very long few days this past week at the PGA Tour’s first playoff event of the 2022 season in Memphis.
The British Open and Players champ is rumored to be going to LIV Golf on a $100 million deal but is currently playing in the FedEx Cup Playoffs, where he is in third and a lock to make it to the Tour Championship in Atlanta in two weeks.
He will not, however, be making it to the BMW Championship in Delaware this week as his team announced Monday that he will be sitting out with some “hip discomfort” that he’s been experiencing lately.
Cameron Smith, who enters the week No. 3 in the FedExCup standings, is a WD from the BMW Championship.

This news came a day after Smith was issued a two-stroke penalty before his final round in Memphis which basically knocked him out of contention.
Here’s hoping his hip will feel better next week.
Twitter had reactions.
Now Cam Smith is out of this week's BMW because of "hip discomfort." The drama continues. https://t.co/6Q9fV1t9gr

Can’t believe “on and off discomfort” is enough to keep him out of the Super Bowl of golf! https://t.co/WCuWH0zbrP
