The future of LIV Golf – it's as exciting and unpredictable as a 60-foot putt. And who better to assess it than the Shark himself, Greg Norman? The former CEO recently spoke out and made it clear: it's now solely up to his successor, Scott O'Neil, whether LIV Golf can stand on its own two feet.
Norman emphasized in an interview on the "Dan on Golf" podcast on April 23, 2026, that O'Neil must urgently launch a "roadshow." The goal? To attract new investors to "dilute" the dependence on the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF). The stakes are high, folks!
The Shark and the Open Fairway
For Norman, what he wanted to achieve with LIV Golf was always clear: player power and "free agency" in golf. He sees this as a huge step forward for pros and fans alike. Norman even praises Brooks Koepka's move, which demonstrates this newfound freedom, even as the rumor mill is buzzing about PIF cuts. It was a real battle on the course, metaphorically speaking.
DeChambeau's Future on the Tee
Contract situations are also particularly exciting. Bryson DeChambeau's deal expires at the end of 2026, and Norman is "fascinated" by how LIV will navigate this tricky situation. But no need to panic, golfers! DeChambeau himself, according to Norman, is confident he'll sort out his contract. It remains to be seen what else will happen regarding player deals by 2027. That's going to be a blockbuster round of negotiations.
