“Confrontational” Greg Norman slammed with LIV Golf accused of “undermining” Ryder Cup

Former European captain Bernard Gallacher has hit out at Greg Norman, describing him as 'confrontational', whilst accusing LIV Golf of 'undermining' the Ryder Cup. LIV continued their attack against the sport's traditions last week, after announcing the capture of Henrik Stenson.

Whilst Stenson is no longer the star-studded player he once was, he is arguably Norman's biggest coup yet after the Swede gave up the chance to captain Europe at next year's Ryder Cup in Rome to make the Saudi switch. Golfers have been warned that if they make the LIV move they run the risk of losing a Ryder Cup spot, and this was the case for the Swede.

The breakaway circuit's playing roster is full of a number of Team Europe stalwarts, with the likes of Ian Poulter, Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood all having made the controversial switch last month.
