‘Hatred was disgusting:’ Greg Norman sounds off on LIV critics in new interview
In a recent interview, golf legend Greg Norman has criticized those who have condemned his involvement with the controversial LIV Golf series. Norman, the CEO of LIV Golf, has faced backlash from some within the golf community, who have accused the Saudi-backed series of “sportswashing.” Norman has defended his actions, arguing that he is simply providing opportunities for golfers to play the game at the highest level.
“Hatred was disgusting,” Norman said of the criticism he has received. “It was just unnecessary and unwarranted.”
Norman has also been critical of the PGA Tour’s decision to suspend players who have joined LIV Golf. He has accused the Tour of operating a “monopoly” and of stifling competition.
“We’re not here to destroy the PGA Tour,” Norman said. “We’re here to provide an alternative. We’re here to give players more opportunities.”
It remains to be seen how the LIV Golf series will impact the future of professional golf. However, Norman’s comments suggest that he is determined to continue to challenge the status quo.
