Greg Norman Takes a Jab at Rory McIlroy and Exposes the 4-Time Major Champion

The world of golf rarely sees a clash of titans but when one surfaces it attracts speculation from all around the world. In recent days, the conflict between Rory McIlroy and Greg Norman, two very talented golfers has seen the public eye and caught attention.

Greg Norman thrashes Rory McIlroy

Greg Norman recently made a comeback to McIlroy’s statement during an interview after the latter reached the 21 mark in the PGA Championship. Norman said to Australian Golf Digest, “I respect Rory, but I am somewhat confused by his approach. But then, he is paid to sit on the PGA Tour’s Player Advisory Council, so he is obviously going to support the tour.”

Lately, the exchange of backhanded comments between the two has been a common sight. Greg Norman even went to the extent of saying, “So, I take it as a compliment that he wanted to beat my 20 PGA Tour wins. His next goal should be to win more than 91 tournaments globally or to maintain No.1 in the world for more than 331 weeks.”

Probably, there is no doubt about Norman’s impeccable mastery of the sport, but when two supremely talented mega stars pit their success against one another, it draws the attention of the entire metaverse of golf towards them. However, only time will tell how this clash between these titans will take form.

How did the Conflict emerge?

This incident has led to a considerable rift between the two golf stars. Even though an in-person fight has not surfaced, the relationship between the two seems to be strained for life.

This conflict of interest has occurred due to LIV Golf, of which Norman is the CEO. Rory McIlroy is one of the PGA Tour loyalists who has been in opposition to the rival Golf League. Norman made comments in response to Rory’s previously made statement that indirectly hinted at how he is now one win ahead in the PGA Tour career wins in comparison to the former Australian professional.

Consequently, Norman took a hit at McIlroy and stated that he asked for a sizeable fee to play in LIV Golf and did not completely reject it. This contributed to the bad blood between the two.
