Gary Player reveals why "bitter" LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman has "vendetta" vs PGA Tour

Golf legend Gary Player says he "can't stand" the sport's ongoing civil war and believes LIV Golf chief Greg Norman has a "vendetta" against the PGA Tour.

Player, who won nine major championships in his illustrious career, feels Norman is still "bitter" about his failure to launch the World Golf Tour back in 1994. At the time, Norman unveiled his plans for a tour that would feature 40 of the sport's best players taking on each other in eight big money events.

The plan was backed by Fox Sports, but never got off the ground with players unwilling to join and PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem stating they would not allow players to compete in World Golf Tour events. A few years later, Finchem and the PGA Tour unveiled their World Golf Championships plans, which were similar to Norman's World Golf Tour idea.
