Jacksonville resident Cameron Smith is the No. 2 player in the world and reigning Open champion.
Smith, Niemann and Pereira will give up their spots on the International team in the Presidents Cup. All were among the top eight qualifiers for the team that will be captained by Trevor Immelman. The PGA Tour has indefinitely suspended any golfer who joins LIV, and that includes the tour-run Presidents Cup, which will be held Sept. 22-25 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“I just won the British Open, and you're asking about that," the Aussie said."I think that's pretty not that good. I don't know, mate. My team around me worries about all that stuff. I'm here to win golf tournaments.” Niemann, 23, advanced to the Tour Championship by being ranked No. 19 after the first two events of the playoff.
