Adam Scott says he has no grudges against Greg Norman

The 42-year-old golfer in a recently held press conference told reporters that he has no grudges against LIV chief Norman and their friendship is very strong. When asked if he maintains any bitterness toward his fellow Australian, Scott replied, “Definitely not.”

“This is something he (Norman) truly believes in and I don’t begrudge him for going for it one bit at all. Sure, it’s rocked the orders of golf, which has never really happened in this way before. But I’m optimistic that people’s (intentions) are still good, and therefore we will come to a better place.”

He also revealed that in the tiff between PGA Tour and LIV Golf – “There’s definitely been some feelings hurt and some friendships strained.” Despite that, the golfer hasn’t seen many conflicts during the events or championships.

“I’m not trying to play a peacemaker,” Scott added. “Maybe because I’m a little less emotive about it, I can be a voice of reason for one side or the other. I don’t necessarily see LIV as pure evil for the game of golf.”

“Hopefully, we can get beyond everyone having shots at each other, and each organization can move on.” The former No.1 also stated that he is very happy with PGA and has no plans to join the Saudi-backed league.

“Why am I still on the PGA Tour is because it suits me best to be on the PGA Tour. It’s as simple as that, really,” Scott said at the recent Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow. “There’s one thing I think I haven’t grasped is giving up my entire professional life of trying to achieve these things here and just leaving it behind. I’m obviously not ready to do that.”
