In a Twitter post, Norman made allegations against the Tour for uninviting him to the said event. People were quick to react. While some supported Norman for what he said, others rose in disagreement with his statement and decided to speak in support of the Tour.

Norman said,Why one might ask? Perhaps it is because I am helping to give golf a new heartbeat, creating new value and delivering a new product that is loved by players, fans, and broadcasters alike. And in doing so, finally giving players their rights as independent contractors to benefit from their performance and brand. In some people’s minds, this is too disruptive and evolution is perceived as a bad thing. I disagree — competition breeds excellence.”
