Greg Norman could soon be ousted as LIV Golf chief executive, with a London-based recruitment agency tasked with finding his replacement.
The Australian golfing legend has been the chief executive and commissioner of the Saudi-backed tour since its inception and played a key role in luring the likes of Australian superstar Cam Smith to the LIV ranks.
But leading players, including Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, have been steadfast that for any unification between LIV and the PGA Tour to be successful, Norman, who has long been critical of golf authorities, has to be moved on.
“I think Greg needs to go,” McIlroy said when the golf war was at its peak.
“I think he just needs to exit stage left. He’s made his mark, but I think now is the right time to sort of say, ‘Look, you’ve got this thing off the ground, but no one is going to talk unless there’s an adult in the room that can actually try to mend fences’.”
