The new lucrative Saudi Arabia-backed golf league is a “new opportunity” for players and the sport, according to its chairman Greg Norman.
Speaking to CNN Sport’s Amanda Davies, the two-time major winner said that he believes the new venture will provide a perfect environment to sustain the growth of golf while also allowing players themselves to expand their horizons.
Norman explained that he believes that for the “journeymen” of golf, it can be a game-changing competition.
“If No. 283 (ranked player in the world), who just goes around and just plays through Asia, if he came and won $10-15 million, how great would that be for him, his family, the game of golf to actually reach out and give an opportunity for somebody, who’s probably a journeyman on some tour out there, to change their lives?” Norman told Davies.
