Greg Norman is a smart man. The Australian professional golfer has brains bigger than most entrepreneurs across the sports world.

“Any reunion is so untrue it’s a joke,” Norman said. “These groundless banal articles with repositioned quotes hurt many people. They just want the sensationalism of untruths that have zero credibility.” The golfer was very clear about the fact that the news was fake. He even mentioned that such rumors were hurtful and unsettling for him, his family, and his current wife Kirsten Kutner.

Why did Norman and Evert get divorced?

Greg Norman and Chris Evert were close friends before they tied the knot. However, their marriage lasted for a very short span of just 15 months. After their divorce, a secret source close to the couple revealed the reasons behind their split. “There was a lot of tension between Chris and Greg because she spent so much time traveling with him during the marriage that she was not home enough with her three teenage sons,” the source said. “She is enjoying spending more time with her boys. She loves being a mother.”

However, the two divorced in December at the Monroe County Courthouse in Key West after being separated for months. But Norman soon got married to Australian interior decorator, Kirsten Kutner in 2010. And even Evert moved on with her life and said she was open to dating in 2019.
