When rumors of the PGA Tour and LIV Golf merger first surfaced, the golfing community was taken aback to a large extent. The $3 billion alliance casts a cloud of doubt over a number of factors, including the futures of many people. Greg Norman, the league’s CEO, has managed to grab everyone’s attention amidst this uncertainty.

Recently, amid ongoing talks, a fresh new incident has emerged among the fans. It turns out to be a horrible accident in one of Greg Norman-designed courses, which has caused distress among the golf community.

Greg Norman-designed course catches fire

On Sunday, the clubhouse of the Greg Norman-designed Eastern Golf Club in Yering, Australia, caught fire and was completely consumed by flames that could be seen for more than 30 miles. Around two o’clock local time, 80 first responders, 25 emergency vehicles, and dozens of firefighters battled the blaze.

Unconfirmed sources state that the clubhouse’s 20 to 30 occupants were all safely evacuated shortly after the clubhouse caught fire due to a golf cart battery explosion. Thankfully, there were no reported injuries. The news was shared on Shark Norman’s Instagram stories.

While the situation is under control now, the loss of a world-class course is sure to hit golf aficionados hard. The feeling will be shared by its designer, Aussie great Greg Norman, who has made a career out of creating new golf courses across the world.

Yet, among his other entrepreneurial ventures, his LIV Golf troubles are sure to give him the longest headache.

Things are taking a turn for Norman

Last month, the shark posted a story about his real estate endeavor on Instagram. Australian nationals can rent homes from the company, known as Norman Estates. The homes combine a bit of contemporary with a touch of nature, taking on a combination of snug and elegant as they have all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay.

While it’s an extension of Norman’s life after golf, his duties as LIV Golf CEO have been under scrutiny. Indeed, every facet of the billion-dollar merger with the PGA Tour has been called into question as a possible prolongation of the deferral spreads.

The businessman from Australia’s situation does not appear favorable given that the merger’s preliminary plans have mostly overlooked him. However, Norman has been able to unwind thanks to his constant belief in the league’s vision, and his other businesses that keep his account flowing.
