‘I Was One Lucky…’: Despite Being Dubbed As the Shark, Greg Norman Once Almost Lost His Hand Due to an Accident

Though a golfer requires equipment such as irons and clubs, the most prominent element of a golfer is his hands. However, with no hands, one may find it hard to play the beautiful sport, even if you are the two-time Major winner Greg Norman. Nearly eight years ago, The Shark almost lost his hand in a chainsaw accident. Let’s take a look at what unfolded with the LIV Chief.

In 2014, Norman was enjoying his entrepreneurial lifestyle away from golf. However, with plenty of time in hand, the Australian decided to trim the plants with a Chainsaw by himself. Though a perfectionist in golf, using a Chainsaw wasn’t considered to be listed in Norman’s abilities.
