The Open champion is adamant he wants to see the last Australian winner of the Claret Jug before him stay on as the driving force behind LIV.
But Norman’s position as the Tour’s CEO has been the subject of much speculation since the recent details of the proposed merger between the PGA, DP World and LIV Tours materialised.
The 68-year-old two-time Open champion wasn’t named in the joint statements released by the merging organisations, nor listed as a member of the new unified board.
The absence of his name only increased the widespread suggestions that Norman, who’d been the original driving force behind the move, has become a marginal figure in the LIV golfing hierarchy.
Documents released this month by the U.S senate committee investigating the deal then revealed the PGA Tour had sought a side agreement for Norman to be sidelined.
