Greg Norman has praised Justin Thomas for 'understanding' LIV Golf - in an apparent subtle dig at Rory McIlroy 's disdain for the contentious Saudi-funded venture.
LIV CEO Norman has confirmed that world No. 8 Thomas has held detailed talks over a move - but ultimately snubbed a controversial switch to the mega-money invitational series. McIlroy, meanwhile, has been an ardent critic of the LIV series that has fuelled a civil war within professional golf.
The emergence of LIV has caused a huge division in the sport, with the series poaching a host of star names including Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson. But McIlroy believes LIV is damaging for the game and has called for Norman to 'exit stage left' so the 'adults' can negotiate a peace settlement between the tours.
