Jack Lemmon had his shot got stuck at the 16th hole at the edge of the cliff. After this, Eastwood prompted everyone to help his fellow actor Jack Lemmon instead of Jack taking a penalty. All four men formed a human chain in order to help him take his shot. After this eventful moment, Lemmon managed to get out of the bushes and finally see the green field.

It came as a shocker to all the golf fans around the world when Norman announced his desire to play in the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Tour, which is the nemesis of the PGA Tour. Norman is the CEO of the LIV Golf Investment, which is on the public record as being under the majority ownership of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF).

Several fans, players, and retired golfers were quite unhappy with Norman’s actions and criticized him publicly. However, none of the scrutinies seems to affect Norman’s desire to commence the Liv Tour.

The tour will have its first tournament at the Centurion Golf Club outside of London. Dustin Johnson will be headlining the inaugural LIV Tour Invitational Tournament.
