Greg Norman to "childish" Rory and Tiger: "I know what you're trying to do!"
Greg Norman says the door remains open for Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas to join LIV Golf in the future despite past comments.
LIV Golf commissioner Greg Norman says the door remains open for Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy to join the breakaway tour in the future despite claiming the duo are trying to "bait" him.
The Great White Shark, 67, has given an interview to bunkered's Michael McEwan, where the controversial Australian said Woods, 46, and McIlroy, 33, have "no idea what they're talking about".
McIlroy turned heads when he urged Norman to "exit stage left" before the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai and then Woods echoed his sentiments by suggesting there was an opportunity for LIV and the PGA to navigate a path forward if the litigation on both sides is stayed.

The second was LIV's attorneys accusing the PGA Tour of hiring a PR firm to spread anti-Saudi sentiment and attempting to conceal it.
In his latest comments, Norman claims despite what has been said in 2022, the door will always be open for the likes of McIlroy, Woods and the Justin Thomas if they want to join LIV in the future.
Norman also said he sat down personally with Thomas to talk about LIV Golf.
He told bunkered:
It has also been reported that LIV bosses were thinking of moving Norman upstairs and replacing him with a less divisive front man.
Former TaylorMade chief executive Mark King was being touted as a replacement.
