Greg Norman Courts Top PGA Tour Player for LIV Golf Amid Viktor Hovland Rumors

LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman is on a mission to attract top talent to the Saudi-backed series, with rumours swirling around a potential shock switch for Viktor Hovland. As the 2024 LIV Golf season kicks off in Adelaide, Norman is already looking ahead to the 2025 roster, eager to add more stars to his already impressive lineup.

Having already secured the signatures of golfing giants like Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Jon Rahm, Norman is not resting on his laurels. Rahm, the reigning Masters champion, recently joined LIV Golf in a record-breaking deal worth £450 million, solidifying the league’s status as a major player in the golfing world.

Despite facing rejection from a top PGA Tour player who was impressed with the offer but ultimately decided to stay put, Norman remains undeterred in his pursuit of top talent. Rumours have been swirling around a potential move for Viktor Hovland, who has been a standout performer on the PGA Tour in recent years.

While Norman has expressed interest in landing former Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama, he has shut down speculation surrounding Rory McIlroy, denying any offer was made to the Northern Irishman. However, Norman remains open to discussions with any player interested in joining LIV Golf, emphasizing the global reach and opportunities the league can offer.

As the golfing world continues to evolve, with talks of a potential merger between the PGA Tour and the Saudi Public Investment Fund in the background, Norman is determined to make LIV Golf a force to be reckoned with in the sport. With a star-studded lineup and ambitious plans for the future, LIV Golf is set to shake up the golfing landscape in the years to come.
