It doesn’t matter if a golfer is known as ‘The Shark’ and may have two Majors to his name, he will always still be an adoring young kid to his mother. Following the passing of his father, Greg Norman decided to fly his mother from Australia to American land to spend some time with him. Take a look at the heartfelt post by the LIV Chief, where he says goodbye to his 91-year-old mother.

In October 2022, Norman announced the passing of his father with a touching tribute. Merv Norman was survived by his wife of 72 years, Toini, two children Gregg and Janice, and his grandchildren. It was pretty evident that the widow of Merv had a hard time processing the loss of whom she spent most of her life with.

Nonetheless, Greg Norman, who had a hectic year following the launch of LIV Golf, decided to fly his mother.
