Cameron Smith’s forgettable season continued with a missed cut at the Saudi International<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Australian was among a posse of LIV Golf stars in the field at Riyadh Golf Club this week for the finale of the International Series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former Open champion Smith<\/a>, 32, shot consecutive rounds of level par to miss the 36-hole by two shots. It represented his sixth missed cut in a row.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Smith also endured a miserable major championship season, missing out on weekend action at the PGA Championship, Masters, US Open and The Open.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The golfer has now slipped to career-low 333rd in the Official World Golf Ranking.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Data Golf, which takes into account results on the breakaway tour, also paints a grim picture for Smith – with the Ripper captain now 102nd.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler is the top-ranked player in the OWGR and Data Golf.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Smith’s downturn in form is quite remarkable, given that it was only three years ago he appeared to be at the very top of his game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before he left the PGA Tour<\/a>, he won the coveted Players Championship in a dramatic play-off at TPC Sawgrass and backed that up with his first major triumph at the landmark 150th Open at St Andrews, pipping Rory McIlroy to the claret jug.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He joined LIV Golf for a reported $125m in August 2022, joining major champions such as Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau<\/a> and Patrick Reed.<\/p>\n

Smith has enjoyed success with LIV Golf, winning three times and enjoying team championship success with Ripper last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He will have two more opportunities this year to step into the winner’s circle. Smith is in the field for the BMW Australian PGA Championship and the Australian Open.<\/p>\n

The Australian Open takes place next week. The aforementioned McIlroy will also make the trip down under.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Min Woo Lee addresses Smith’s form<\/p>\n

Smith’s form has caught the attention of compatriot Min Woo Lee.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lee captured his first PGA Tour title this year in Houston and he will undoubtedly harbour aspirations to land a major title in his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That would undoubtedly prove more difficult for the 27-year-old if he switched to LIV Golf<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lee was linked with a switch to Smith’s Ripper team over the summer but his manager and the golfer himself have denied he is planning a move.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He told the Associated Press that he never wants to miss a major championship<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lee also alluded to Smith’s form, explaining: “Cam was one of the best players in the world before he went to LIV and I hope he can find a stride,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n

“Great golfers, over time, if there\u2019s more holes, they\u2019re probably going to come out on top.<\/p>\n

“So hopefully we can see some good golf out of him.<\/p>\n
