Greg Norman dismissed all the rumors about getting back with Chris Evert
Speaking about all the rumors back in 2016, Norman dismissed them and called them “Fabricated Rubbish.“
There were reports that Norman and Evert used to see each other from time to time. After hearing this, Norman said, “So untrue it’s a joke… These groundless banal articles with repositioned quotes hurt many people, but I guess that factor is never taken into consideration by the journalists that write them and the editors that approve them.“
According to the former golfer, his wife Kirsten Kutner also saw the news articles and magazines and did not give them much attention. “But it does hurt to some degree when she sees her photo cut-and-pasted in the magazine to intentionally make a situation look dire,” he further said.
Notably, after splitting with Evert in 2009, Norman married Kirsten Kutner in 2010. On the other hand, Evert did not marry anyone, as she had to battle Ovarian cancer.
