We know Greg Norman for his contribution to LIV golf, as he serves as the circuit’s CEO. However, he has been an outstanding golfer during his professional days. He spent 331 weeks as the world’s number-one golfer during 1980-90. Norman has been the talk of the town for various reasons; however, the 2014 incident was the scariest. He almost lost his arm doing something irresponsible, which was not expected of him.
The CEO of LIV, Norman, spoke to the Associated Press and explained the incident that nearly cost him his arm. He explained that he was trimming tree branches at his residence in South Florida. Suddenly, the weight of the tree branch drew his hand toward the chainsaw. As a result, he cut himself close to his wrist. According to Norman, the doctors warned him that the blade almost severed an artery. Then why did he consider himself lucky.?
