Greg Norman, the outspoken figure who has been at the center of LIV Golf since its inception, has made a major announcement about his future with the breakaway golf league.
The Australian golf legend revealed that after four years of leading the Saudi-backed project, he will be stepping away from his executive role. Norman, who has served as the CEO and public face of LIV Golf, described the journey as one of the most challenging yet rewarding chapters of his storied career.
In a statement shared on social media, Norman expressed pride in what LIV has accomplished during his tenure. He pointed to the league’s success in luring top stars, building global events, and shaking up the traditions of professional golf as evidence of its staying power.
“After four unforgettable years, I have officially closed out my chapter with LIV Golf. I am proud of what we built, proud of the players who believed in the vision, and proud of the disruption we brought to the game of golf,” Norman said.
Under Norman’s leadership, LIV Golf reshaped the landscape of the sport, sparking controversy, lawsuits, and heated debates, but also securing high-profile signings and significant financial backing. The league forced the PGA Tour and DP World Tour to make changes of their own, leading to talks of collaboration and restructuring at the highest levels of professional golf.
Norman did not specify what his next move will be, but hinted that he would remain involved in the game in other capacities.
“This is not the end for me in golf. It’s just the end of one chapter,” he wrote.
His announcement marks a turning point for LIV Golf, which now faces the challenge of moving forward without the man who helped spearhead its rise. Whether the league can continue to grow and solidify its place in the sport without Norman’s polarizing leadership remains to be seen.
For Norman, the legacy of his time with LIV is clear: he was the architect of one of the most disruptive and controversial ventures golf has ever seen — and he leaves proud of the waves he created.
