"I think he made $400,000,000" - Fans react to Greg Norman addressing his replacement at LIV

Fans on social media have reacted to Greg Norman talking about his replacement as the CEO of LIV Golf. The former Australian golfer recently opened up about the ongoing speculation about the potential change in the position.

In his interview with Wish TV, Greg Norman acknowledged that the circuit is looking for a new CEO. However, he also emphasized that he would be involved with LIV Golf even after that.

Nuclr Golf shared the news about Greg Norman's CEO position on its X (formerly Twitter) account, writing

"Yes. There will be a new CEO. I’m fine with that. Will I always have a place and be involved with LIV to some capacity?… “Yes, I’ll always have that. Because the impact that has been created in the game of golf by LIV, I’ve had a small, small piece of that, which I’m proud of.”

Fans jumped to the comments section to react to Norman's response.

"I think he made $400,000,000 he'll be okay!! Lol," a fan wrote.

Meanwhile, some fans called LIV Golf "irrelevant."

"Liv is becoming more irrelevant by the day. Those guys need to give it up," another fan said.

While others praised Greg Norman's leadership.

"Greg is the Donald Trump in golf. Everything he has been saying since the 90’s about the PGA turned out to be true - just like Trump in politics. Both men should be admired not ridiculed," another fan jotted.

"Greg is the man. A LIV legend," a fan commented.

Greg Norman shares his thoughts on the PGA Tour

In the same interview with Wish TV, Greg Norman also opened up about the ongoing negotiation deal between the PIF and the PGA Tour. The American golf series was initially critical of the Saudi Circuit.

However, over the years, they have softened their stance and announced a framework agreement with PIF in June 2023. However, the deal has yet to be finalized.

Recently, Greg Norman opened up about the PGA Tour and said (via WISH-TV):

"Competition was a great thing for them (PGA Tour) too. Now they got an injection from SSG (Strategic Sports Group) of $1.5 billion. Great for the PGA Tour, wonderful. So everywhere you look –In the first couple years, everybody was lambasting us. And now all of a sudden, everybody’s trying to follow us. And I think everybody should take a step back and say, ‘Oh my gosh. How good has this been for the game of golf?’”

Notably, Norman joined LIV Golf in 2021 and has a contract through the 2025 season. However, he would reportedly be leaving the position.

Last month, a report circulated on the internet that LIV Golf has been planning to appoint NBA and NHL executive Scott O'Neil as the new CEO of LIV Golf, replacing Greg Norman.

Scott O'Neil has been active in the sports and entertainment industry for over two decades. He earned his master's degree in Business Administration from Harvard Business School. Over the years, O'Neil has worked with the Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Devils, and Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment.
