LONDON: Greg Norman says he is to be replaced as the chief executive of LIV Golf.

The 69-year-old Australian has been CEO of the Saudi Arabia-funded breakaway circuit since October 2021, prior to the league’s first official season the following year.

Norman, the former world number one and two-time Open champion, has often been seen as a divisive figure in golf’s civil war between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, a staunch supporter of the established tours, said in November 2022 that Norman should quit to allow the “adults” to negotiate a peace settlement between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.

Norman, speaking in an interview in the United States with Indiana news TV station WISH-TV, said: “...Because the impact that has been created in the game of golf by LIV, I’ve had a small, small piece of that, which I’m proud of.”
