The LIV Golf Tour, which was once a myth to many, has now officially come to life, and how. Greg Norman’s Saudi-funded league has successfully managed to lure out some of the most talented players to join them. The new tour was a threat to the PGA Tour, and so Commissioner Jay Monahan made a clear statement. The statement said that any player who joins the LIV Golf Invitational Series will be suspended from PGA. But Greg Norman’s conversation with Sergio Garcia showed that the LIV Chief had a different perception about what was going to happen.

Garcia continued and said that the PGA Tour allegedly reached out to some players, and “scared them a bit”. However, Norman didn’t seem to care much about the possibility of any actions being taken against players. “They cannot ban you for one day let alone life. It is a shallow threat,” the LIV Chief said.
