Greg Norman says he's getting calls from PGA Tour pros wanting to join LIV Golf

LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman has revealed a number of PGA Tour players are calling him with interest about joining the Saudi-backed circuit ahead of 2024.

Despite there being a great deal of uncertainty as to how the future of professional golf will play out following last month's shock merger between Saudi PIF and the PGA Tour, Norman is adamant the show will go on for those on LIV Golf no matter what happens.

The two-time Open champion admits his phone has been off the hook from interested players ready to make a move from the PGA Tour.

Speaking to LIV Golf commentator Arlo White this week, Norman said:

"Just continue on the pathway where we are right now. I’m getting calls today about other players wanting to come. Been getting a lot of interest from that myself, personally."

Here's one of the latest player transfer rumours following Brooks Koepka and Matt Wolff's latest spat.

In terms of the ongoing merger between LIV's bankrollers, Saudi PIF and the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, Norman said:

"The hurdles have been removed in a lot of ways. Now people see that, oh, like we’ve always said from Day 1, we want to stand shoulder to shoulder. We want to be supportive of the golfing ecosystem. We want to grow the golfing ecosystem. Our platform is different than the PGA Tour’s platform. … Is there room for both of us? One hundred percent, and they’re realizing that now."

Norman last month sent a letter to LIV employees, saying: "I could not be more optimistic about the opportunities ahead."
