According to Evert, she never expected such an end to her marriage with the pro golfer. However, she revealed why they had to separate. Guilt played an essential role in the splitting up of the couple. “I still had an enormous amount of guilt, I brought that into my marriage with Greg, and I allowed it to have an effect,” said Evert. The split with her ex-husband Andy Mill ate her from the inside as she ended their relationship and married Norman. The guilt affected her marriage adversely and led it to conclude.

However, the former couple had other differences. Evert wanted to stay on the ground and live an everyday life. In contrast, Norman wanted wings. He tried to fly and had high ambitions. And that is why the marriage ended. Evert also mentioned that the Major championship winner was not a responsible man. He never took responsibility for fulfilling the promises he once made. “Greg needs to take accountability for the promises he made and the way he left,” said Evert.
