However, the former golfer’s son, Greg Norman Jr., responded to the rumors. In a fifty-worded tweet, he called out the allegations as baseless and condemned the developing propaganda.

He disregarded the “rumor mill regarding LIV and my dad” while condemning the “propaganda machine in action.” Norman Jr. also commented on how these websites tried to gain clicks (and money) without verifying the source.

His tweet was in response to the reported shift in power in the LIV Golf Series. A number of major media houses published articles in view of LIV Golf targeting a new chief executive, who is none other than former TaylorMade CEO, Mark King.

Mark King – The new LIV CEO?

While a shift in powers after a solitary season of golf is unexpected, King will make for a handy leader. He has more than 20 years of experience in golf, working his way up from sales division to President and later CEO of sports equipment company, TaylorMade.

Additionally, in what could have been a deal-breaker, King believes in LIV Golf. He had reportedly conveyed his feelings to leading journalist, Michael Bamberger about the Saudi-backed league in September. According to the writer at Fire Pit Collective, King had King told him “in five years LIV Golf will be another tour among existing tours and that everybody will learn to get along.”

King also seems to possess the Midas touch. He has elevated profits everywhere, be it in his years at TaylorMade, or his stint at Adidas in North America. He is currently the CEO of the world-famous brand Taco Bell, a part of YUM! Brands.

But would the exciting announcement be too harsh for Norman’s productive work in LIV’s debut season? Do you think the 67-year-old has bid farewell to his job already? Let us know what you think in the comments down below.
