The year's first major championship is just around the corner, as the golf world is set to once again turn its eyes to Augusta National Golf Club for the 2023 Masters tournament on April 6.
The Masters is, famously, a tradition unlike any other, that is held in a special place of reverence by both golf fans and the world's most elite players. Make no mistake, winning a green jacket is life-changing and a dream of every golfer teeing it up in this year's edition of the tournament.
Winning the Masters gets you a spot in the field for a lifetime, but if you aren't a former champion, this is a very tough field to qualify for. Despite a year-end move to the LIV Golf league, Cameron Smith will be teeing it up in the 2023 Masters thanks to his multiple qualifiers that include winning last year's Open Championship.

Cameron Smith Masters Odds
Below are Cameron Smith's current odds for winning the 2023 Masters:
- DraftKings Sportsbook: +2000
- FanDuel Sportsbook: +2100
- BetMGM Sportsbook: +1800
Cameron Smith's Recent Form
This is perhaps the biggest question surrounding Smith and the rest of the LIV Golf contingent, as it's hard to gauge their true form when considering the format and level of competition of the start-up golf league.
Prior to hopping to LIV, Smith put together a spectacular 2022 campaign by winning the Sentry Tournament of Champions, PLAYERS Championship, and The Open Championship. He closed out the calendar year with a victory at the Australian PGA Championship in his home country.
In two LIV starts this year, the Aussie has recorded a T5 at the Mayakoba event and a T24 at Tucson. Unfortunately, player statistics aren't made available by LIV at this time, so it's nearly impossible to dig into what exactly is going on with Smith's game currently.
Cameron Smith's Masters Record
The 29-year-old's track record at Augusta National is phenomenal. Smith has recorded top-10 finishes in four of the past five Masters tournaments and has never missed a cut in six career appearances.
He scored a runner-up finish in the 2020 edition and battled eventual champion Scottie Scheffler throughout the final round last year before eventually settling for a share of third place. Smith's world-class short game and almost superhuman scrambling ability allow him to navigate Augusta National's unique grounds. He's an explosive scorer that has fired nine rounds of 69 or better across his 24 career Masters rounds.
Cameron Smith's 2023 Masters Outlook
While Smith's move to LIV Golf does cloud his Masters outlook to a degree, the Aussie should be considered a serious contender for the green jacket this year. His impressive accomplishments in 2022 proved that he's elevated his game to the next level and has a place among the game's elite golfers.
His track record at Augusta National speaks volumes and the natural fit he possesses for this layout won't just disappear due to Smith playing on a different professional circuit. The concern for Smith - and all LIV players teeing it up this week - is just how sharp he will be since stepping outside of the competitive cauldron of the PGA Tour.
