Norman would do it again but slightly differently

Greg Norman said he is proud of what he accomplished as the chief executive officer of LIV Golf and that PGA Tour players have benefited from the Saudi backed league.

Norman, who stepped down from LIV Golf in September, called his time with the league “mission accomplished” in an interview with Australian Golf Digest.

“When you look back on the past 12 months, there’s been a realisation that all those investment dollars have done great things for the institutions as well as the players, in all parts of the world.

“Even with the PGA Tour (boosting its prize money with elevated events), I was quietly happy when I saw that, because the players benefited from it.

“Are they going to recognise LIV for doing that? No, but I do know that was a significant uptick for them.

“For them to be able to play for more money, even play in less competitive fields - they reduced the size of the fields — I just said, ‘Well, there you go’. The adoption, to some degree, of what we implemented has been accepted.”
