LIV Golf has faced uncertainty since its start, with problems like delayed mergers and low viewership. Rumors about CEO Greg Norman’s replacement added to the concerns. But Norman says he’s not going anywhere. “My contract runs until August 2025,” Greg Norman stated. “I’m committed to making 2025 a great year for LIV Golf.” He’s focused on finalizing the schedule and achieving key goals. Norman also highlighted the league’s achievements, showing progress despite challenges.

With his sights set on success, Norman remains determined to lead LIV Golf forward, and the latest announcement from LIV Golf may be a step in that direction. The latest post by LIV Golf Communication on X revealed the appointment of two seasoned professionals to key leadership roles. John Ruzich joins as Chief Legal Officer, overseeing all legal functions across the league and its 13 teams, while Denise Taylor takes the reins as Head of Product & Technology, leading global technology solutions and products. “LIV Golf hires John Ruzich as Chief Legal Officer and Denise Taylor as Head of Product & Technology”, read the post.

Ruzich brings extensive experience from his tenure as Chief Administration Officer and Chief Legal Officer at Legends, a premier live events company. Taylor boasts a wealth of expertise in sports, live events, and large-scale technology projects, having held executive roles at AEG, Westfield, Legends, and Tottenham Hotspur FC. Both industry veterans will be based in New York and commence their roles this month. “I am confident that their strategic vision and commitment to excellence will not only strengthen our legal and technology departments but also propel us to new heights in 2025 and beyond.”

LIV Golf Commissioner and CEO Greg Norman welcomed Ruzich and Taylor, stating, “Their deep expertise will strengthen our legal and technology departments and propel us to new heights in 2025 and beyond.” The additions are part of LIV Golf’s bolstered executive leadership team, following recent appointments including Ilana Finley, Adam Harter, David Phillipps, Katie O’Reilly, Ross Hallett, Pam Sacree, and Tim Taylor. As LIV Golf prepares for its third campaign, kicking off in February 2025, these strategic hires position the league for continued growth and innovation. Well, everyone knows about the merger talks between LIV Golf and PGA Tour but you’ll be surprised to know that even DP World Tour is in the line for the same.

LIV Golf and DP World potential merger

A potential alliance between LIV Golf and the DP World Tour is gaining momentum, with some insiders suggesting a joint venture could create a lucrative worldwide circuit rivaling the PGA Tour. “I would love to see some sort of cooperation between the tours,” says Adrian Meronk, a former LIV Golf pro. “All the fines and not having proper World Rankings makes no sense… I like the idea of everyone getting together and creating a worldwide tour everywhere except the United States. It would be awesome.”

Laurie Canter, another former LIV regular now on the DP World Tour, agrees, “LIV and the DP World Tour are the genuine worldwide tours now… With LIV and the DP World Tour, it feels like there should be a natural synergy.” However, Canter also acknowledges the importance of PGA Tour collaboration saying, “Without some PGA Tour collaboration or understanding… I don’t know what solves those two entities trying to win on their own. I would be in the camp that all the tours need to work together.” So, what do you think will happen? Let us know in the comment section below!
