Greg Norman has taken aim at Jack Nicklaus by branding the golf legend a 'hypocrite' over his stance on the new Saudi-backed golf tour.
In a week which threatens to change the face of world golf, the LIV Golf CEO will oversee the first rebel event at The Centurion Club in St Albans, which gets underway on Thursday. And in a seismic blow to the PGA Tour, Phil Mickleson has confirmed he will be in the field having signed a contract.
He'll be joined by other big names like Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Martin Kaymer, although Norman has admitted to failing in an audacious bid to secure the presence of Tiger Woods. The 15-time major champion was reportedly offered nearly $1 billion to join up.
