REVEALED: What Greg Norman told LIV Golf staff after PGA Tour merger
LIV Golf supremo Greg Norman held a meeting with more than 100 staff members after the shock deal to merge the PIF, PGA Tour's commercial interests.
Greg Norman has insisted LIV Golf isn't going anywhere.
A defiant Norman reportedly held a meeting with breakaway tour staff after the shock deal to merge Saudi Arabia's PIF and the established PGA, DP World Tour.
Norman wasn't briefed about the decision which has sent shockwaves through the sport and made Rory McIlroy feel like a 'sacrificial lamb' for leading the charge against their vastly wealthy rivals for the better part of two years.
And Norman reportedly held a meeting with more than 100 staff telling them they aren't going anywhere despite embattled PGA Tour boss Jay Monahan revealing he 'can't see' the scenario that LIV would continue in its current form beyond 2023.
Per SI, Norman said:
The aforementioned Monahan faced calls to resign during what was a tense meeting with the PGA Tour membership following the announcement on 6 June.
According to one player, he 'took it really well' when he was labelled a hypocrite.
He has now confirmed those who 'remained loyal' to the PGA Tour will be rewarded.
Monahan said:
The deal to merge the PIF and the PGA Tour, DP World Tour's commercial interests was reportedly hatched over a series of secret meetings during the last seven weeks across the globe.
Monahan said he felt as though he could trust LIV's mastermind Yasir Al Rumayyan no sooner than 10 minutes into their first meeting together in Venice.
