What does Bryson DeChambeau’s LIV Golf Chicago win mean to Cameron Smith’s $18,000,000 quest? 

Bryson DeChambeau won the 2023 LIV Golf Chicago event after playing an incredible 8-under 63 round. He registered a one-stroke victory over Marc Leishman. However, his victory has affected Cameron Smith's quest to earn $18,00,000 in bonus by topping the LIV Golf standings at the end of the season.

The Australian golfer currently tops the standings of the Saudi circuit with 170 points. He would have extended the lead by a big margin but his performance at the LIV Golf Chicago event went horribly wrong. He finished 40th in the field of 48 golfers on Sunday, September 24. It was his worst record at the Saudi circuit in two seasons.

LIV Golf is heading for its finale with only one event to go in Jeddah and then the golfers will compete in the season-final team Championship.

Cameron Smith has won two events this season and had three under top 10 finishes.
