Cam Smith got the biggest win of his career yesterday at the Players Championship and earned a cool $3.6 million in the process.
But moments after his victory he said golf hadn’t been his main priority the past few weeks.
So what could possibly have been the main priority for the 28-year-old PGA Tour star who has four wins in his last 50 starts?
Hanging out with his mom and sister, who he hasn’t seen in over two years because they live in Australia and COVID-19 protocols have made it difficult for them to get together.
Smith got emotional yesterday when he was asked about what it meant to see them and have them at his huge win at TPC Sawgrass:
Cam Smith hadn’t seen his mom and sister, who live in Australia, in over 2 years.
He just wanted to hang out with them the past couple weeks, but messed around and won The Players while they were visiting.👏 pic.twitter.com/u3G51rAGKb

Man, it is getting dusty in here. Hard not to root for Smith, who’s easily one of the nicest guys on the Tour.
Here they all were celebrating right after Smith had clinched the win:
A win for the whole Smith family. ❤️pic.twitter.com/FTWGuL1In0
