The Shark’s reason to stay with LIV Golf

Despite the insults and abuse that Norman receives regularly, the LIV Golf CEO is determined to head its campaign. The question arises: why? While many speculate that Greg is doing this just for the money, Norman says otherwise. In an interview with the New York Post, Norman opened up about the reason he signed with LIV Golf. He said he wanted to grow the game and take it to new heights. “We are here to play golf, serve fans, grow the game, and give additional opportunities to players,” he said.

Norman also went on to explain his stance in response to everyone’s criticism of the Saudi Arabians. “We are not a political organization,” he said and went on to tell the media how he believes golf can bring about good change around the world. “I also have seen firsthand the good that golf can do around the world, and Saudi Arabia is no different.“
