Is The Latest Greg Norman Report A Sign PGA Tour-PIF Deal Is Edging Closer?

The PIF is reportedly on the look-out for a new LIV Golf League CEO and plans to move Norman into a senior leadership position moving forward

As talks regarding the future of men’s pro golf apparently continue to progress, a report emerged this week that stated LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman is expected to move into a different senior position with the breakaway circuit as the PIF searches for a new face to succeed the Australian.

A story by Josh Carpenter of Sports Business Journal said that the Saudi PIF has been hunting a new CEO for the LIV Golf League for the past several months, as well as attempting to recruit a CRO (Chief Revenue Officer) and CLO (Chief Liaison Officer) in order to bolster its executive leadership group. Around a fortnight ago, the 54-hole league also hired Ilana Finley as its new chief communications officer from Nike.

Should SBJ’s report prove to be true, it may well signal that the final nine holes at the Future Of Men’s Pro Golf Open is drawing ever closer for all of the players involved.

This tournament has been going on for almost three years already, having begun in 2022 when a promising up-and-comer turned up on the range and greatly disturbed the long-standing legend.

Since the first tee, golf’s newest dawn has contained several unexpected storylines – from a quad-bogey start where the competitors were suing each other to a shocking cut line where the two warring sides unexpectedly said ‘good, good’ and moved past the turn in the form of a framework agreement.
