Golfing civil war will ‘resolve itself’, says Greg Norman

LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman says there’s “no question” that golf’s civil war will resolve itself over a period of time.

Mr Norman is the CEO and public face of the Saudi-backed LIV series, which is embroiled in a bitter dispute with the rival PGA Tour.

Several big golfing names have jumped ship from the PGA tour to LIV Golf, including top-ranked player Cameron Smith.

“This split, or this animosity, has only come from one side of the ledger quite honestly,” he said.

“We tried to reach out with the European tour, we tried to reach out with the PGA tour. We wanted to integrate ourselves within their system.

“To show that what we have is additive to the sport of golf. They made the decision, not us.”
