Despite Having Bad Blood Between Them Tiger Woods Gets Vaguely Compared by PGA Tour Pro to Greg Norman

Greg Norman could be credited for laying the foundation of LIV Golf from day one. Since the very beginning, he has been the pillar on which LIV’s grand success stands now. However, his contributions to LIV has caused bad blood between him and PGA Tour loyalist Tiger Woods.

But before joining LIV, he was the star golfer of Australia and continues to be a revered figure among the current golfers. And recently a PGA Tour Pro has sung praises of Norman and compared him to Woods in his interview. Let’s find out more about this.

PGA Tour Pro compares the aura of Greg Norman to that of Tiger Woods

Australian golfer, Greg Chalmers, who plays on both PGA Tour and PGA Tour of Australasia, recently gave an exclusive interview to Golf.com show’s Golf Subpar where he was interviewed by Colt Knost and Drew Slotz on all things golf. Coming to the topic of Greg Norman, Colt Knost said that he was the man back in the day and asked how he is perceived in Australia given the LIV situation.

“What’s the perception of Greg Norman nowadays in Australia?” he directly asked. In response to this, Chamlers showed great respect to his fellow Aussie golfer and praised him immensely.

“You know he carried the game in our country for a number of years. There was a time there if where Greg was in the field, you had an event. That’s all you needed. The people would flood through the gates.” Chalmers showed the positive impact Norman has had on Australian golf fans by comparing him to Tiger Woods. “As Tiger is here, he was that in Australia,” Chalmers said giving Norman a very big compliment.

Chalmers says that Australia doesn’t care about the politics of LIV Golf

Chalmers further clarified that the fiasco PGA Tour and LIV have caused in the golf world hasn’t made its impact in Australia where fans only care about the game. “Australians aren’t caring so much about the politics of LIV Golf to be honest. You saw what happened in Adelaide. They went and watched golf. They had a good time. They don’t care about the other stuff.” This is a big statement that shows beyond all the drama what fans really care about at the end of the day is a good game and nothing else. 

Things have been quite disruptive for Norman after the news of the merger surfaced but he continues to extend his support. Norman should find some solace in the kind words of his namesake and a fellow-nation golfer after all the harsh criticism he has received after joining LIV Golf.
