The LIV golfer said that his favourite team in the biennial tournament is “Europe.” However, when he was asked for the reason to support the team, he said:

“I don't know… I like the Europeans, that's all I say.”

He also talked about the team sports events. Smith said:

“So I was fortunate enough to play for Australia in the Olympics in 2020. It was the COVID Olympics, so it wasn’t really much of a buzz. But I remember how I felt that week, and there was something about putting on that shirt with the coat of arms, and that really got you up in the morning. And yeah, there needs to be more of it, you know, and I think that’s kind of where LIV is going.

"There are a lot of countries that kind of keep to their own with their own teams. We’re an all-Australian team. The South Africans are an all–South African team, the English are all English. It’s kind of where it’s going, but it’s got a long way to go to be the Ryder Cup, you know. So yeah, I’m excited to be on the journey.”
