‘LIV Will Be My Legacy’: Amid Ongoing Tension, LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman Makes Another Stunning Remark

Greg Norman was appointed as LIV Golf’s CEO back in 2021, and he has been advocating for the league ever since. Norman has won 89 professional tournaments that include 20 PGA Tour tournaments and two majors, namely The Open Championship in 1986 and 1993. Norman is what fans call a legend. In a recent interview just ahead of LIV Golf’s Adelaide leg, Greg Norman discussed his legacy at length. 

Greg Norman talks about his legacy

Greg Norman grew up on PGA Tour. Just some hours before Australian fans get to cheer for the LIV Golf defectors, the CEO of LIV Golf attended a press conference with Cameron Smith and South Australia Premier, Peter Malinauskas. Norman discussed about LIV Golf’s long-haul plans and how the league wishes to co-exist with the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. 

Norman also discussed his legacy in the press conference and how he believed that LIV Golf would be his true legacy. He mentioned that what he has done in his career before joining the Saudi-backed league is a different legacy than what he is building after joining LIV Golf. “I truly believe my legacy from 20 years ago and my legacy today are two different things.”

Norman believes that his one true legacy will be with LIV because the league is doing so much good for the golf fraternity and it is also the right. “My legacy of what I am doing with LIV will be my legacy because it is the right thing to do.”

Norman also discussed how the league is working hard to increase the fan base of the sport, which is in fact beneficial for the golf fraternity. Fans selling out the tickets for Adelaide is one example of them loving the sport, irrespective of the leagues playing it.

Norman shares the good that LIV Golf has done so far 

Norman explained how LIV aims to have a positive impact on global golf, with a particular focus on expanding the demographic of golf fans in Asia. Rather than focusing on the negative effects of the PGA Tour, attention should be on the positive effects on the Asian Tour and other markets that want to be more involved in the sport. 

The demand for top-level golf in different regions is evident at the event in Adelaide this week, where fans want to see international superstars play live. If LIV can adopt a global model that also attracts a younger audience, there is a significant opportunity for them, and it will benefit the sport as a whole.
