Chamblee reveals "hypocritical" Greg Norman texts and snub from Hall of Famer
LIV Golf critic Brandel Chamblee has claimed Greg Norman is the real hypocrite as he revealed the Hall of Famer who has now stopped talking to him.
Brandel Chamblee has claimed Greg Norman was sending him "laudatory texts" about his work before he became LIV Golf commissioner.
Chamblee is likely one of the LIV Golf League's harshest critics.
Even before the breakaway circuit got fully underway last June, he was decrying the Saudis' involvement in the sport.

In an interview with Tom Kershaw of The Times of London, Chamblee has gone into detail about why he is so passionate about the subject.
Chamblee, unsurprisingly, was particularly scathing of Norman and Phil Mickelson, whom he previously argued should be removed from the Hall of Fame.
The former PGA Tour pro questioned how the Australian two-time Open champion sleeps at night.
The $405m LIV Golf League gets underway later this month in Mexico and the "rebel" circuit now has a U.S. TV deal with the CW.
Chamblee said of Norman:
A number of players have previously spoken about how previous relationships have broken down.
Rory McIlroy was involved in Sergio Garcia's wedding in 2017 but now the pair are reportedly exchanging vitriolic text messages.
As for Chamblee, he explained that 2006 Hall of Fame inductee Vijay Singh has now stopped talking to him.
Chamblee told Kershaw:
He added:
Chamblee once again tried to highlight the "gotcha" point that his critics and naysayers often point out on social media.
That would be the fact that Saudi money is everywhere. Boeing. Facebook. Uber. You name it.
According to Chamblee, there is a distinct difference and the likes of Mickelson et al are helping drag back golf "into the dark ages".
