The Saudi-funded Tour seized several of the top PGA Tour stars within a few months. However, the LIV CEO, Greg Norman, recently announced that their buying spree of PGA Tour talent isn’t over yet.

The LIV Golf recently concluded its inaugural season with a finale team event at Trump National Doral in Florida. Despite signing some of the biggest names in the sport such as Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, and Brooks Koepka, to name a few, the Breakaway Tour plans to make its second season in 2023 bigger than the first.

To achieve this feat, Commissioner, Greg Norman, announced that the Tour will acquire nearly 7 more players from their nemesis. Moreover, he believes that most PGA Tour stars want to join the Saudi-funded Tour. Let’s take a look at what the Australian Shark had to say.
