An anti-Greg Twitter handle wrote. “Biggest mistake they could make lol.” Some of Norman’s fans feel that it is a set up by LIV Golf to make him take a fall for something. One such Twitter handle wrote, “This is a clear move to set him up to take the fall. Execs fleeing on their droves. They don’t tend to do that when there has been “enormous success” as Sharky claims.”
