LIV Golf Investments have moved to defend its CEO Greg Norman following his bizarre comments over the murder of Jamal Khasoggi.
In 2018, the Saudi journalist was assassinated in Turkey after criticising his country's government regime. Last year, US intelligence agencies concluded that the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, had approved the killing.
Norman, 67, is fronting the new Saudi-backed breakaway golf tour and last week, attended The Centurion Club in Hertfordshire for the media launch of the project. The venue will host LIV Golf's inaugural event in June, with a 54-hole tournament yielding an overall prize purse of $25million.
