Greg Norman to be the commissioner of the Saudi-backed golf series
According to Golfweek, Greg Norman will be announced as the commissioner for this new Saudi-backed golf series. However, there is no official confirmation about this news from Norman. Moreover, they asked the media members who attended the session in New York City to hold this news until next week.
Meanwhile, Greg Norman was a natural choice as in 1994 he had proposed the World Golf Tour. But PGA Tour rejected this offer. Hence, convincing Norman for this rival league surely wasn’t a mammoth task.
Meanwhile, with backing from the Saudis, there will be no shortage of cash in this series. Hence, they have already started to lure the top names in the golfing world and recently made an offer to several top players, and around eight PGA Tour players have asked for permission to participate in that event.

Media members who did not receive an invite to next week’s news conference should consider themselves lucky. Those associated with the Crown Prince MBS don’t seem to get along well with journalists. https://t.co/o6Lxh94rKu

Nothing screams "this is something that people are gonna love" like hand-picking favorable media and telling them when they can report about it https://t.co/YHKsy3RbgI

If the media speaks prior to next week does Norman have authority to chop them up into little pieces and dispose of them in a duffle bag?
