Rory Mcllroy thinks Norman needs a team
Majed Al Sorour has stepped down from his position as the managing director of LIV golf. This move has left Norman in charge and also strengthened his position in the organization.

But it seems like Mcllroy has no faith in Norman. In an interview when he was asked about his opinion on the new change LIV Golf management, he replied that he doesn’t believe that Norman has an efficient team to run the organization. “I mean, if the chief executive doesn’t have an executive team,” he said. Furthermore, he believes it is a weakness. “I don’t know how strong that is.”
Mcllroy thinks operating the organization is like running a silo and one person cannot do all the work. “I mean, he can’t do it himself. He needs to rely on a team just like all of us rely on teams, right, to do things,” he added. “You know, sort of operating in a silo, it starts to get pretty difficult.”
