The commissioner of LIV Golf, Greg Norman, is one lucky man. Are you wondering why? He has the Saudi-backed massive tour, LIV Golf, under him. He takes all the crucial decisions and makes them work. If that isn’t lucky enough for you, then maybe an incident from 2014 will make you call him a lucky man.

It was an unfortunate accident, but luckily he was saved, although he did learn an important lesson. After almost losing his hand to a chainsaw, he realized the value of life and the importance of little things. 

Can Greg Norman be called the luckiest?

The two-time major champion winner, Greg Norman, shared a photo of him in 2014, recovering from a chainsaw accident. He told AP that he was thankful the blade was not running full speed, or he would have lost his arm. Even though he handled things calmly, it was still a giant escape from losing his left hand. However, he ended up with nerve damage.

The Hall of Fame golfer was trimming the sea grapes on a tree in his South Florida home. He posted a picture on Instagram with the caption, “Time to trim the sea grapes today. Never ask someone to do something that you can do yourself. Love to work!” 

Suddenly, the weight of a branch led the chain saw toward his left hand. The blade hit Norman just below the wrist; thankfully, it missed the artery, even if only by a fraction of an inch.

Later, he posted a photo of him in the hospital recovering from the chainsaw accident. He gained respect for the chainsaw and instructed his followers to respect it. Norman was happy to be in good health and considered himself lucky. 

He wrote, “I was one lucky man today. Damaged, but not down & out.” He did not have muscle damage or lose his hand; therefore, you can call Norman a fortunate guy. The left hand was intact, and he received the necessary medical care.

What happened post-accident?

After they discharged him from the hospital and he was resting at home, he updated his fans with another picture of him with a thumbs up. The LIV Golf head was standing in front of the same tree, and a purple foam box structure protected his left hand with a wastebasket.

The love and support overwhelmed him, which he received online, and he thanked everyone for giving him good wishes and moral support. Norman used the purple foam for a few more days before going to rehab. He also added that the fingers of his left hand had a tingly sensation, which was still significantly better than not having fingers at all.
