The 18-time Grand Slam winner, Chris Evert, had one of the best careers in women’s tennis history. Apart from tennis, she also had a colorful personal life, as she married three times in her career. Her last husband was the legendary Australian golfer, Greg Norman. Recently, Norman was at the heart of many controversies after becoming the CEO of the Saudi-backed LIV golf tour. His ex-wife, Chris Evert, recently opened up about Norman’s involvement with the LIV tour. CHRIS EVERT TALKS ABOUT GREG NORMAN-BACKED LIV GOLF TOUR In a recent interview, the former American tennis player, Evert, talked about feeling skeptical after hearing about Greg Norman’s involvement with the LIV golf tour. She said [https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/aug/27/chris-evert-interview-tennis-emma-raducanu-us-open], “He knows how I feel. I don’t support it.“ Chris Evert [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-543538390.jpg]LONDON, ENGLAND – JUNE 29: Chris Evert in the commentary box on day three of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at Wimbledon on June 29, 2016 in London, England. (Photo by Karwai Tang/WireImage) Notably, Evert’s one of the best friends and arguably the greatest female tennis player ever, Martina Navratilova [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/martina-navratilova/], has also been very critical of the LIV golf tour. Previously, she criticized many golfers as they switched from the PGA Tour to LIV golf.

As Norman is at the helm of LIV golf, we could see even more golfers switching tours. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/chris_evert320-fde87cba396d4b85b7d9549e06613e8a.jpg] It is worth noting that Evert and Norman married each other back in 2008 and their marriage lasted only a year. After that, Norman married Kirsten Kutner, which is still going strong. EVERT IS CURRENTLY COVERING THE US OPEN 2022 Meanwhile, the 18-time Grand Slam champion has been covering the US Open as a commentator and expert for ESPN. She is back on ESPN’s panel of experts due to her great insights that she often provides without any filters during matches. Watch This Story: Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova once jointly bashed infamous broadcaster Piers Morgan after his ridiculous comments on Marin Cilic [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/atp-wta-tennis-news-what-a-jerky-thing-to-say--chris-evert-and-martina-navratilova-once-jointly-bashed-infamous-broadcaster-piers-morgan-after-his-ridiculous-comments-on-marin-cilic/] Apart from doing commentary, she has also been sharing her opinion on Twitter, as she praised some of the American players like Tommy Paul and Caty McNally. Moreover, she also shares a great bond with Tunisian tennis player, Ons Jabeur, and the Australian star, Ajla Tomljanovic. 

In a recent interview, 18-time Grand Slam winner Chris Evert opens up about her
ex-husband Greg Norman’s involvement with the LIV golf series.
