"I'm assuming that's me" Greg renews Tiger and Rory feud after LIV land TV deal
Greg Norman appeared to renew his rivalry with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy after the breakaway LIV Golf League secured a U.S. TV deal.
Greg Norman has insisted LIV Golf's Saudi backers do want a return of investment as he claimed: "Golf has been stuck in a box for 53 years".
Norman, 67, joined NewsNation after the breakaway tour finally struck a U.S. TV deal which will see the 2023 LIV Golf League reach more than 120 million homes.
The terms of the deal have not been made public but it appears that their YouTube streaming days are over, with those wanting to tune into LIV having to download the CW network app for future coverage.

The Great White Shark spoke to NewsNation's Dan Abrams about the deal, where he confirmed that LIV's backers do eventually want a return on their huge investment.
LIV Golf have already spent fortunes prizing players away from the PGA Tour. Those include major champions such as Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Cameron Smith, Patrick Reed and Sergio Garcia.
A host of top European names heading towards the end of their playing days have also signed lucrative contracts with LIV.

Rory McIlroy has also called for Norman to step down.
With a smile on his face, Norman said:

Norman's latest comments come as it was revealed - unsurprisingly - there is now an impasse between LIV and the PGA Tour in their ongoing antitrust lawsuit.
A judge now has to make a huge ruling.
