Cameron smith got payed with the largest ever pay checks in history of golf after winning the Players Championship. He bagged an amount of $3.6 million. In addition, the Australian got something that would lessen the amount of walking the Australian would need to undertake at TPC Sawgrass.
Along with the cash award, the champions of the Players Championship on the PGA Tour also receive a premium parking space at Ponte Vedra Beach right close to the golf clubhouse. The parking space is small, but none the less it gives a winner’s feeling and the winner can use it until the next winner is decided in the next season.
There have been reports that Cameron Smith’s Parking spot is no longer there as reported by GolfWeek’s Adam Schupak. And the so happened not because of the PGA Tour is taking up new mullet policy.

Cameron Smith is the second ranked golfer of the world who has recently joined LIV Golf
The Veteran golfer who is currently ranked second in the world has recently joined LIV Golf leaving the PGA Tour behind. Smith Joined LIV Just after he concluded the FedEx cup playoffs. Thus, after his transfer the PGA Tour wasted very less time to change the sign.
The board near the parking lot doesn’t have Cameron Smith’s name anymore on it and neither it has the name of previous champion Justin Thomas. According to Schupak, Cameron Smith utilised the TPC Sawgrass practise facility more frequently than other nearby facilities. The replica of Smith’s winning bag and his photos have been taken out of the clubhouse, according to the Golfweek writer. For Smith, it’s a double blow.
“If they go to LIV they don’t have any of their (PGA) Tour privileges at TPC properties,” Schupak was told by TPC Sawgrass general manager Derek Sprague. Anyways, the 2nd ranked golfer of the world will not be parking his car any further in the special parking lot. Now, after joining LIV, it seems like he would not be greeted in the parking lot at all.
