Joining Smith on the Saudi-backed circuit are Marc Leishman, Joaquin Niemann, Harold Varner III, Cameron Tringale and Anirban Lahiri.
Smith is the highest-ranked player on the competitive tour and is coming off a career year by winning The Open and The Players. There had been speculation for weeks that the Australian was committed to LIV, but he avoided speaking publicly about the rumours.
Niemann is ranked 19th in the world and in February won the Genesis Invitational, the biggest win of his career.
“LIV Golf is showing the world that a truly global championship attracts the world’s best players and will grow the game into the future for the next generation,” said LIV CEO/Commissioner Greg Norman.

Tuesday’s announcement is another blow to the International Presidents Cup team. Both Smith and Niemann were among the eight automatic qualifiers for this year’s team, and Leishman was a potential captain’s pick. All three will be suspended from the PGA Tour when they play their first LIV event.
Because his team was already set, captain Trevor Immelman will receive two additional captain’s picks to replace Smith and Niemann.
