He was not far behind to make the world of golf acknowledge his long list of achievements. Norman also talked about his efforts to establish the game in far-off parts of the world. He made efforts to spread the game of golf in countries like China and the Middle east.

Norman said, “I’ve done a lot for the game of golf. I was the number one player in the world for six years. I’ve done things in the game of golf. I promoted the game of golf. I’ve grown the game of golf, globally. I took a mission on myself, as an individual player, to fly all around the world. So when they do these- what happened in the R&A was a petty, cheap, childish shot, to be honest with you. And if you can’t rise above it all, shame on you.”

He continued, “Not to understand what the LIV business model is, and to see how it sits within the ecosystem. Shame on you. Because in business you understand what your opponent’s got, you understand what your competitors got, and unpack it all to make both entities better for each other, not try and destroy us. And we haven’t tried to destroy the PGA.”

Norman lashed back at the PGA Tour and called the Tour out for their actions toward LIV Golf. He accused the Tour of trying to destroy the newborn golf league. On the other hand, he claimed that LIV is not doing the same.
