Cam Young sent shockwaves through Trump National Doral with a blistering 64 in the opening round of the Cadillac Championship, but it was his post-round comments about LIV Golf that truly stole the spotlight.
The 28-year-old New Yorker has been on fire this season, already securing a victory at The Players Championship in March and establishing himself as one of the world's elite golfers. His iron play and putting have reached new heights, making him a threat on any course he steps foot on.
After his stellar round, Young fielded questions not just about his game, but about the ongoing saga surrounding LIV Golf and the return of Brooks Koepka to the PGA Tour. For context, Koepka—a five-time major champion—left the PGA Tour for LIV in June 2022, only to make a surprising return this January. Since then, LIV has faced mounting challenges, with reports of players considering exits and rumors that PIF may pull financial backing at season's end.
Young, who wasn't a regular on the PGA Tour during Koepka's initial tenure, offered a measured take on the situation. "I think having Brooks back has been great," he admitted to reporters in Miami on Thursday. "But honestly, it's not for me to decide really. I don't know what any of those guys are thinking about doing. I don't know what's going to happen with LIV. So I can't really give you much of an informed opinion on that."
Whether LIV Golf survives or folds, the damage to the league is undeniable. For now, Young is focused on his own game—and his 64 at the Blue Monster proves he's a force to be reckoned with, regardless of the off-course drama.
