Greg Norman takes credit for “PGA Tour stepping up” after LIV’s sweeping changes

Greg Norman

LIV has been caught up in the recent controversies for more than just one reason; there seemed to be a lot of changes that the Tour planned for itself to keep afloat.

Greg Norman as the figurehead for LIV has recently joined hands with one of the former US Presidents, considered traveling to a whole another continent, and has been called names for their Saudi-backed multimillion-dollar funding.

However, he not only takes full credit for the changes they introduced in making golf lucrative sports but also in the PGA just as they unboxed an array of significant changes to please its fans.

New changes revealed in the PGA Tour might amp up its energy and zeal among the fans and Norman believes it’s the LIV and team that inspired an overhaul.

The PGA Tour and the LIV are often compared to each other even though they are poles apart even in the format they follow. The traditional format is shifting lines and not everyone might be excited about it.

Jay Monahan revealed the overhaul of the PGA Tour last month. Some of the changes that significantly alter the more traditional format are the players now participating in a 20- tournament schedule. The financial incentives for their inclusivity have also been introduced, bringing additional 20 million dollars to the table.

After the revelation of PIP being doubled to now 100 million dollars and the introduction of the Player Impact Program Criteria for selection, Greg Norman released a statement taking credit for pushing the PGA Tour to commit to a more refined form.

Greg Norman said that a network has high interest in broadcasting LIV. According to sources though, it’s the History Channel. An executive said “These golfers are history and aren’t relevant any more, so it seems to be a good fit.” pic.twitter.com/KONpWABjs5

“The competition that LIV brought, the players should be thanking LIV — the Tour players should be thanking LIV. From my point of view, where I was as a player to where we are today — for the players within LIV and for the fans — it’s like night and day.” Norman added.

He said that PGA has it done as a reaction to the atmosphere created by LIV and that it’s LIV that now holds the future. It’s only a matter of time before we see what’s in the bag for fans and their preferences.
