The first domino has fallen in what is expected to be a wave of PGA Tour players switching to LIV Golf this week.

Amid much reporting and rumours surrounding Cameron Smith, the world No. 2, it is another Cameron who got things started on Monday, following the conclusion of the PGA Tour Championship.

Young? Nope, it isn’t that one either (how many Camerons play golf these days?) It was Cameron Tringale who was the first to break the not-so-silent silence and reveal he is off to LIV Golf. with a social media post on Sunday evening, while Rory McIlroy was still celebrating his third FedEx Cup triumph.

A multitude of announcements are expected this week, but the first was hardly a bombastic firework. Tringale is a 13-year PGA Tour veteran and has not claimed a title in 338 starts. He announced on Twitter that he is relinquishing his PGA Tour membership for 2023 and will be teeing it up alongside Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Patrick Reed for LIV Golf next week just outside Boston.

Tringale, who is ranked 53 in the world, has won almost $17.5 million during his time on tour, but has never won a PGA pro tournament

“After much reflection, prayer, and conversations with trusted advisors I have made the decision not to renew my Tour membership for next year and join LIV Golf,” Tringale, 35, said in a statement on Twitter.
