Cameron Smith has admitted 'it hurts' that he can't be world No.1 after coming very close to cracking the top spot before his move to the breakaway LIV competition last year.
But the Aussie has declared the world rankings will be 'obsolete' if points aren't awarded to LIV events, with a slew of the world's best players now part of Greg Norman's billion-dollar breakaway.
