Smith became one of the marque names to join the breakaway circuit, as made the Saudi switch just weeks after his Open Championship win last summer. His move to LIV was a controversial one, as the Australian and his fellow rebel stars were handed sanctions by both the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. Despite the bad blood between the DP World Tour and the LIV setup, Smith will be back playing golf on the Wentworth-based circuit in the coming months. This comes after the former Open champion revealed he would be making a return to Australian soil to finish his 2023. Smith confirmed he will be competing in both the Australian PGA Championship and the Australian Open across November and December. Both events down under are co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour and PGA Tour of Australasia. Speaking Nine's Today Show, he said: "I'm coming back home to play some golf. I loved coming back down to Australia just to hang out, but to play golf in front of the fans is something that I love doing and I'm happy that I'm coming back home. "I've been fortunate to have a few PGAs, haven't quite got the Open yet so that's something that I want and I'll be working hard to get it done." As mentioned by Smith, he has already enjoyed success in the Australian PGA Championship, having won the event three times. His latest came last year, as he saw off fellow Aussie Jason Scrivener and Japanese star Ryo Hisatsune by three shots at Royal Queensland. Before he heads home for his title defence, Smith's focus will be firmly on the task at hand on the LIV setup. As things stand the Ripper GC captain leads the way in the individual standings.
