Greg Norman’s Golf League has been a topic of discussion in the golf world for quite a long time. While the final field of the League is not announced yet, the latest hint points out that Kevin Na is likely to be a part of it. And the fans are not happy about it!

According to No Laying Up, a famous golf podcast, the golfer is wearing a T-shirt with the logo of the rival league.
What a catch. Working up the courage to put the wording on the shirt!
@NoLayingUp @TronCarterNLU @AndyTFE @BrendanPorath I might have just never noticed before but is that the Golf Saudi logo on Na’s collar? Going all in with Kokrak?
No Laying Up retweeted a fan-captured screenshot of Na from the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.
Na has been on headlines before for wearing a suspicious logo on his T-shirt as well. However, it turned out that it was the logo of the WAAC clothing line. The WAAC is a South-Korean golf apparel brand that sponsors the golfer. Since the brand was not familiar to the American audience, it had made a quiet stir.

While the WAAC logo problem was a misunderstanding, the latest one is not so much. The logo on Na’s T-shirt collar matches that of the official website of Golf Saudi. Although it is not sure whether the logo means he is joining the League, the golf fans are furious about the new update.
Fans’ reaction to the T-shirt of Kevin Na with the Saudi League logo
After his picture with the logo on his shirt went viral, many fans analyzed the situation more closely and dug up more information regarding the same.
Looks like this this is his 2nd event (API) with the logo as he was not wearing it at the Genesis. So he put the logo on AFTER Phil's comments! @NoLayingUp @BrendanPorath @TronCarterNLU
He put it on in the last 8 weeks!
Since the logo is of Golf Saudi and not the League, many speculated whether that means he is joining the Tour’s rival.
Very bad move but I do have a question. Is the logo for Saudi Golf (Asian tour event / golf complex) or the LIV? Either way, very bad move on his part
Luv golf and Golf Saudi aren’t the same thing.
Go look at LIV golf website and tell me that’s the logo. #FakeNews
While many fans said how they would miss the golfer at the PGA Tour event, many thought otherwise.
I mean, at this point it seems like the SGL is just gonna take guys that literally nobody will miss.
Since not much information about the League is out yet, it is impossible to decide whether Na is a part of it or not.
The latest updates about the Saudi-backed Golf League
According to Golf Channel, the League has already sent out invitations for the players to the event. The final field would be decided after considering all the golfers who have shown interest in joining them.
