Overview

  • Norman announced on Instagram that he has "closed out" his time with LIV Golf, calling the project a global change agent for the sport.
  • He served as founding CEO from the league’s 2021 launch, helping lure high-profile players from the PGA Tour and European circuits.
  • Scott O'Neil took over as CEO in January, and Norman’s contract expired in August according to reporting.
  • LIV continues under O'Neil with a multiyear Fox Sports broadcast deal, though coverage questions the league’s traction in the U.S. market.
  • Reunification discussions with the PGA Tour have stalled since April after a reported $1.5 billion offer was rejected, and Norman remains on Brisbane 2032’s organizing board.
