Greg Norman believes the professional golf world is “crying” for the creation of LIV, praising the former world number one’s efforts to promote the sport around the world.
Norman has long been proud of the LIV circuit’s global expansion, with the Saudi-backed series set to host 14 events in eight countries by 2024. Norman and his colleagues also envisioned an alternative format to the PGA Tour event that would put individuality first, a 54-hole event and a team format.
- This change in approach seems to be exactly what golf needs, according to Norman, who focuses on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour in his positive review of the LIV circuit. “As we sit here today and talk about ‘looking ahead,’ we have a tremendous opportunity in front of us,” he said on the LIV Fairway to Heaven podcast. “We can point to the direction in which it is moving [globally] and we will move in that direction. Because golf is global.
