Norman teases "easy" PGA fix as he reveals LIV players have made a confession
LIV Golf's Greg Norman says he is still hoping to sit down and talk with the PGA Tour as he believes there is a simple solution to golf's civil war.
LIV Golf commissioner Greg Norman still hasn't given up on opening up a dialogue with the PGA Tour as he teased an "easy fix" between the warring tours.
Norman, 67, remained curiously silent during LIV Golf's team championship in Miami at Trump National Doral last week which was won by Dustin Johnson's 4 Aces GC side.
But now Norman has come out firing again, claiming he did not create the vitriol, ill will and that the PGA Tour "created this angst".

Norman spoke to the media on Wednesday where he claimed that some players who played in LIV Golf events always wanted to go back and play in PGA Tour events.
To some of LIV's critics, this would be seen as players having their cake and eating it. Norman appears to have no time for that, suggesting that "competition in its healthiest form helps build businesses".

Norman told the media of the PGA Tour:
So what is the solution? Norman said:
LIV Golf will be officially called the LIV Golf League in 2023. The format will essentially be the same, with 12 teams of four individuals for themselves and their team mates.
There will be 14 events globally, with prize purses of $25m at each event. In 2023, there will be as many as 60 players involved on the roster.
Phil Mickelson, who has been seen as the de facto head of the controversial series, claims his passion for the game has been "renewed" but his comments caused a bit of a backlash.
Elsewhere, it has been reported that Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay are just two of the big names Norman's LIV are targeting.
LIV's chief of operations, Atul Khosla, has teased as many as four new singings before the end of the year.
Norman said there may be more to come, plus there are apparently some expressing interest in owning an equity stake in the team element.
He said:
