LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman has insisted it is ‘too late’ for the top PGA Tour stars to make the switch to the controversial series amid rumours Open champion Cameron Smith is set to join.
The lucrative LIV Golf series is funded by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund and it has divided golf, leaving the PGA and DP World Tours fractured after the new series poached some of the sports biggest names. Several of the world’s most prominent players have decided to switch to LIV Golf, including the likes of Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, and Dustin Johnson.
Amid heavy rumours linking reigning Champion Golfer of the Year Smith to the Saudi-backed tour, Norman has insisted the door is closed on those who now want to join the breakaway circuit. The Australian believes it is ‘too late’ for any more names to switch, although this will likely not be before the acquisition of Smith.
