Greg Norman 'given more power' at LIV Golf as £40m team championship moves venue

Greg Norman will yield more power within LIV Golf this year after the rebel tour confirmed an expanded 14 event schedule.

In his role as CEO, Norman has signified the approach of LIV thus far, with the circuit offering extortionate amount of money to PGA Tour stars to defect to the Saudi-backed venture. And last week he lauded a "momentous" day when the organisation finally secured live television coverage of their tournaments after striking a deal with the American CW Network.

The likes of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, vociferous opponents of the LIV series, have both called for the Australian to be removed from his position so that negotiations of a compromise can begin between authorities. But on the contrary, the 67-year-old's influence will now grow after it was confirmed by Sports Illustrated that managing director Majed Al-Sorour will leave his role.
