In his recent interview, the Hall of Fame golfer Greg Norman called out another outstanding golfer, Tiger Woods. Norman has recently signed a TV broadcast deal with the CW network. Despite many people not liking his decision, the former golfer was pumped. He had been trying since last year to get the deal. There were rumors of FOX Sports becoming LIV’s broadcast partner, but things went differently. 

Last year was good for LIV in terms of events. They carried it out successfully with big purses. However, it was not a peaceful year for Norman. Besides trying to get the TV deal, he also worked hard for his players. The golfers who left the PGA tour were not allowed back on it by the PGA commissioner Jay Monahan. As a result, the LIV players were not eligible for the OWGR points nor allowed to play in any major tournaments.

The great white shark tried to talk to the PGA officials to settle the dispute, but failed. Later, the former number one golfer, Tiger Woods, made comments about Norman. He said, “Greg has to go, first of all.” then only any discussion between LIV and PGA will occur. Norman did not say much about it then, but now he has finally addressed and answered Woods’ comments.

Is Tiger Woods a mere mouthpiece?

The legendary golfers have yet to interact much face-to-face. However, it was back in 2013 when Norman scrutinized Woods’ illegal drop in Masters. And in 2022, Woods expressed his dislike toward the major championship winner. However, Norman has replied to his comments and called him a ‘mouthpiece’, according to FOX News Channel. He said, “I think, is an indication that he might be a bit of a mouthpiece for the PGA Tour to try to get us to create turmoil created internally within LIV.”

According to the former golfer, who spent 331 weeks as world number one in the 1980s, Woods was unaware. He felt sad for the GOAT golfer and said, “unfortunately, he made a comment that he doesn’t know the facts about because obviously I’m still here. Obviously, he doesn’t control what we do within LIV.” The LIV golf was always criticized because the Saudi PFI funded it. However, Norman clarified a few things.
