‘Bring on the Super Bowl of Golf’: Greg Norman Issues an Open Challenge to the PGA Tour

The PGA Tour and LIV Golf rivalry has taken a new turn, and Greg Norman is leading it. A few days back official Twitter handle of Flushing It posted a tweet. In the tweet, they said what asked the fans of golf what would have happened if an event between LIV Golf and PGA Tour players existed. The tweet stirred the golf world in many ways. In fact, it even made the Tour veteran-turned-LIV Golf defector Phil Mickelson chime in with his thoughts on the same.

And now and then, fans discuss the theories of placing a LIV player and the PGA Tour player against each other and see how it goes.

And now, even LIV Golf CEO and former world no. 1 Greg Norman has taken this discussion to a new level.

According to Norman, LIV abandoned the efforts to reach a truce with PGA commissioner Jay Monahan last year. The retired pro claimed to ESPN’s Mark Schlabach that the cold war that erupted when LIV lured some well-known players away with guaranteed contracts hasn’t cooled and that they decided to move on. His comments followed the PGA Tour’s announcement of “enhancements,” which included elite golfers pledging to play in more tournaments, bigger payouts, and a guaranteed wage for any full-time players. However, a few days back, Jay Monahan also had the same kind of discussion, only it was about their product vs. his product and not players.
