Golfing great Jack Nicklaus has opened up on being approached by the LIV Golf Series after he was branded a 'hypocrite' by the breakaway circuit's CEO Greg Norman. Earlier this year, Norman slammed Nicklaus after the American rubbished any claims that he was to work with LIV Golf.
In May, Nicklaus confirmed that he had been approached by the Saudi-backed series to become LIV's CEO with an offer in excess of $100million (£89million), but turned down the offer twice due to his loyalties with the PGA Tour. Eventual chief executive Norman though hit out at the 82-year-old, insisting he did in fact attend a LIV presentation and gave the circuit his blessing.
Four months on from Norman's criticism, Nicklaus has once again opened up on the breakaway circuit and believes it has forced the PGA Tour to play its hand by revamping its schedule and prize money.
