Greg Norman hits back at LIV Golf critics and slams PGA Tour’s “deafening” hypocrisy

Greg Norman has scathingly criticised the PGA Tour for its "deafening" hypocrisy as the explosive fallout from his Saudi-backed rebel tour continues.

The inaugural Liv Golf Invitational event took place at The Centurion Club at St Albans this month, with winner Charles Schwartzel pocketing £3.2 million. That figure was £600,00 more than English golfer Matt Fitzpatrick made for his dramatic US Open triumph on Sunday.

The PGA Tour was dealt a seismic blow when former world No 1 Dustin Johnson confirmed he was resigning his membership to sign with LIV Golf, with the likes of Phil Mickleson, Ian Poulter, and Lee Westwood amongst the field who played in St Albans. Former major winners Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed will also make their LIV debuts in the second event in Portland in July.
