LIV Golf and Greg Norman Respond to PGA Tour’s Big-Money Events and Alliance With TGL

As promised, Wednesday was a big news day in Atlanta, as PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan announced more big-money golf events starting in 2024 and more Player Impact Performance (PIP) money to be handed out starting this offseason.

In addition, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy announced a new team-based league that will play on Monday nights in the winter and offer more huge payouts to PGA Tour stars.

Big money tournaments; team events; this may sound familiar.

LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman noted the similarities.

Adding a comment on that Instagram post, Norman wrote, “A day late and a dollar short.”

In addition, while this quote isn’t directly attributed to Norman, it sounds a lot like something he would say.

LIV golf just released the following statement, which proves, if nothing else, their troll game remains strong. “LIV Golf is clearly the best thing that’s ever happened to help the careers of professional golfers.” That’s the whole statement.

These comments come as next week is expected to be a big one for LIV. With the PGA Tour season concluding this weekend, LIV is expected to announce seven new names to its roster ahead of its next event in Boston over Labor Day weekend.
