Translation: Here comes the offer’ – fans welcome back Greg Norman to Rory McIlroy at LIV Golf. Greg Norman’s comments in response to Rory McIlroy’s comments at LIV Golf have sparked backlash from fans on social media. In a recent interview, the Northern Irish golfer was uncharacteristically critical of LIV Golf, admitting the series exposed certain flaws in the current state of the sport. LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman shared his thoughts on McIlroy’s comments on the latest episode of The LIV Golf Podcast. Not only did he praise McIlroy’s return, but he said the world number two was speaking highly of the LIV without being fully aware of it. Speaking of McIlroy, Norman (via Nuclr Golf): “The reason I say I’m kind of grateful that Rory fell on his sword is because he judged us because he didn’t know the facts. He judged us based on the thoughts and opinions of others. We wanted to sit with them from day one to help them fully understand the value of LIV, its business model and the impact it will have on the game of golf.”
