Senate hearing revealed Greg Norman’s fate after PGA, LIV Golf merger, and golf fans had jokes

Greg Norman Golf LIV Golf LIV (Organization) Richard Blumenthal

With the PGA Tour and LIV Golf heading to Capitol Hill to talk with the Senate Subcommittee on Investigations about their merger, Greg Norman may have not expected to hear his name being mentioned.

But that was the biggest revelation as the meeting between execs and senators began on Tuesday: Norman — the LIV CEO who has come under a ton of fire ever since he took the job — would be fired as part of the agreement.

Per Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal, that was the agreement in the documents the committee received.

Golf fans had a lot of jokes about that:
