Who is Cam Smith’s coach?

Cameron Smith is one of golf’s biggest stars, but who is his coach?

The Australia-native, who now plays on the LIV Golf league, won the 150th Open Championship at the Old Course, St Andrews, in 2022.

During that week, Smith’s exceptional play was highlighted by a brilliant performance on the greens at the Home of Golf, prompting many to ask who is behind his swing.

Smith has had his coach by his side throughout the biggest moments in his career, including his PLAYERS Championship triumph in 2022.

That man is Grant Field, so here’s a bit more about him.

Who is Cameron Smith’s coach Grant Field?

Cameron Smith’s coach is Grant Field.

Cameron Smith’s coach is a man close to home, as Field is also from Australia.

He has been nominated for the Queensland PGA coach of the year for the last ten years in a row, winning the award on four occasions.

In his day job, Field is the head of coaching at Pelican Waters Golf Club in the Sunshine Coast of Australia.

The top teacher is also the head coach for Golf Queensland and specialises in short game, whilst he is also qualified to teach the putting method called AimPoint.

All of this shouldn’t come as a surprise, given his leading student has one of the best short games in golf and has a world class putting game to match.

It’s culminated in a handful of successes at the top table and after winning at TPC Sawgrass in 2022, Field told Golf Australia about his composure in big moments.

“I’ve known for years how good I believe he is,” he said. “And I think we are seeing more of that in bigger events all the time, obviously the win at the start of the year, today to hold up under that sort of pressure and to continually keep standing up when he needed to, as a coach I couldn’t be happier and more proud than what I saw today.”

In the autumn of 2022, Field, along with Cameron Smith, attempted to break the record for the world’s largest golf lesson.

The event took place at Royal Queensland Golf Club and although they didn’t break the record,  it was a chance for hundreds to gain expertise from both Field and Smith.

Meanwhile, you can learn from Smith’s coach. If you want to book a lesson with Grant Field, head over to Skillest, where he offers both individual lessons and lesson packages.

The highest end lesson package with Field consists of an unlimited yearly plan, where he provides detailed video analysis of your golf swing.

Field also sends videos of himself demonstrating what you need to work on, and customised drills that will help you to make the changes to your game.

Other members of Smith’s team include sports psychologist Jonah Oliver and trainer Nic Catterall.

Meanwhile, Smith went viral in September 2024 after he was filmed flushing a 6-iron off a cart path.

It’s probably not a move he has worked on with his coach Grant Field, but another instructor was impressed.

Ryan Moque was on hand at Bolingbrook Golf Club to capture the moment, which he posted on X for the world to see.

Cam off the cart path… sounded so flush you wouldn’t even think it was off the path
