Along with being a great golfer during his playing days and now being a full-time LIV Golf commander, Norman is also a loving dad of two children: Gregory Norman and Morgan Leigh Norman. Both of his children are happily married.
One of Norman’s kids, Gregory is about to become a father as his wife Michelle Norman is pregnant. The day of the couple becoming parents and the 68-year-old becoming a grandfather is coming close. Norman’s daughter-in-law shared two beautiful pictures with her husband, and their pet dog announcing the last days of her pregnancy.

Although, the good news in Norman’s life is coming at a very controversial time; amid the $3 billion merger of the three primary golf entities under one umbrella and the PGA Tour being sponsored by the Saudi Public Investment Fund and the meaning it holds for Noman’s future as CEO.
Is Norman’s future at Saudi League in danger?
In the reported draft contract of the merger that has been surfacing on the internet, there is a clause that mentioned that one Saudi PIF member will be appointed to the PGA Tour policy board in order to make the most of the long-term partnership.
🚨The framework agreement was reportedly sent by the PGA TOUR to the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations this evening, per @TheAthletic - can read it here:
The framework agreement between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and PIF.
The aforesaid member of the policy board will be appointed by the PIF governor, Yasir-Al-Rumayyan. As per the leaked contract, there is no name in consideration yet as to who will become the PGA Tour policy board’s member.
Does this new merger mean things may go downhill for Greg Norman? Or will he continue to fly high with the Saudi League? What do you think? Tell us in the comments below!
