LIV Golf League boss Greg Norman labelled Tiger Woods "a mouthpiece for the PGA Tour" in his latest verbal assault. 

Woods, now 47, called on Norman to step down from LIV Golf during his pre-tournament press conference at the Hero World Challenge in November.

The decorated major champion claimed there was a chance for the rival golf tours to end their ongoing "civil war" if litigation was to end. 

Woods called on LIV Golf to drop their antitrust lawsuit first. Then the PGA Tour can withdraw their countersuit.

But Greg? He's gotta go, according to Woods. Rory McIlroy previously called on the two-time Open champion to "exit stage left"

Norman insists he's going nowhere. And despite the loss of two executives in recent months, the breakaway tour have been buoyed after finally landing a U.S. TV deal that will see them partner with The CW Network. 

The 67-year-old Australian previously hailed that breakthrough as "momentous". 

He was asked once again about the comments made from Woods and Norman did not hold back. 

Norman told Fox News' Brian Kealmeade:

"I think it's sad for Tiger that unfortunately he made a comment that he doesn't know the facts about, because obviously I'm still here. 
"Obviously, he doesn't control what we do within LIV. So just making those comments, I think, is an indication that he might be a bit of a mouthpiece for the PGA Tour to try to get us to create turmoil created internally within LIV." 

What, exactly, did Woods say about Norman?
