Greg Norman shares the one thing he wishes LIV Golf would have done differently
Greg Norman left his role as the CEO of LIV Golf in 2025.
Norman played a leading role in getting LIV Golf off the ground back in 2022.
And interestingly, the league has definitely regressed since he moved on from his role this time last year.
Greg Norman was one of LIV Golf‘s biggest cheerleaders when they first burst onto the scene back in 2022.
It may not be a coincidence that LIV has endured all sorts of problems since he left, because they lost his expertise as someone who performed at the highest level of the game for more than two decades.
Norman believes LIV Golf will survive, although he admitted the landscape will change significantly moving forward.
Greg Norman shares one thing he wishes LIV Golf would have done differently
Norman has been speaking to Flushing It on X about the recent problems that LIV 1.0 has endured.
The Australian responded when asked if there is anything that he wishes LIV would have done differently from the start.
“It was too US-centric from the start,“ Norman admitted.
“I thought, let’s own global golf and let the PGA Tour have the US. They’re a big fish in a small pond, we can be a bigger fish in a bigger pond. Ultimately I wanted 10 non-US events and 4 in the US.
“It could have been a simple relationship with the PGA Tour. We had everything, it was a plug and play.
“We could have gone to the 4 weakest events and brought in the best players in partnership with local communities. It would have made a significant impact on the local economy and added value to the PGA Tour. It would have benefitted all round.”
Greg Norman’s LIV Golf admission was refreshing to hear
While Norman’s idea is a good one in theory, the PGA Tour definitely wouldn’t have had anything to do with LIV Golf.
So the idea never would have got off the ground in the first place.
Five of LIV Golf’s eight events in 2022 were held in the United States and Norman clearly feels as though the league should have played more global tournaments.
It will be interesting to see whether LIV 2.0 goes down that route.
They will certainly be operating on a smaller scale than they have been over the past four years.
Nobody knows what the future actually holds for LIV 2.0.
Perhaps if they hadn’t been so US-centric from the start, as Greg Norman highlighted, they would have become a successful global golf league – one that acted as an alternative to the PGA Tour rather than a rival.
