Smith has played on the PGA Tour of Australasia since 2013. His best finish is tied for second at the 2016 Emirates Australian Open and the 2015 Coca-Cola Queensland PGA Championship.

Smith played on the Asian Tour in 2014, finishing in the top-10 seven times and finishing 5th on the Order of Merit. His best finish was tied for second at the 2014 CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters.

Smith has been coached and mentored since 2004 by Golf Queensland coach Grant Field.

Smith's first PGA Tour event was the CIMB Classic in October 2014, which was a joint event with the Asian Tour; he tied for 5th. In April 2015, he tied for 15th in the RBC Heritage, playing on a sponsor's exemption.

After qualifying for the 2015 U.S. Open, his top-4 finish earned him an invitation to the 2016 Masters Tournament. The finish also earned Smith Special Temporary Membership on the PGA Tour for the remainder of the 2014–15 season. Smith earned his 2015–16 PGA Tour card by earning enough as a non-member to have been in the top 125 on the money list: his best three events would have been sufficient.

In 2016 Smith finished 157th in the FedEx points list. His performance in the Web.com Tour Finals allowed him to return to the Tour for 2017.

On 1 May 2017 Smith partnered with Jonas Blixt to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the first team event on the PGA Tour since 1981. The pair did not make a bogey during the tournament and defeated Scott Brown and Kevin Kisner in a playoff. It was Smith's first career PGA Tour win. His other top-10 finishes in 2017 were T-6 at the Valero Texas Open and T-7 at the Wyndham Championship.
