“Might need to drop a lawsuit first” – Fans react to Greg Norman’s call for the ‘PGA Tour vs LIV Golf’ match
The CEO of LIV Golf, Greg Norman, recently shared a post about the tournament between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.
Norman tweeted on his social media handle, suggesting a Super Bowl between the two rival series.
He wrote:
"Nearly 10,000 fans have spoken. Bring on the Super Bowl of golf. LIV Golf Vs. PGA Tour. "
Fans took to the comments section to share their opinions on the same. They wrote:
"My God, you are more desperate one year into this scam than I ever thought was possible…"
"LIV would play the role of International in the President's Cup."
"Thanks for ruining golf - Super League #2"
While a user reminded him to drop the lawsuit against the PGA Tour.
"Might need to drop a lawsuit first."
The LIV golfers filed a lawsuit against the PGA Tour barring them from playing on their tours. In response, the tour sued them for luring their players. A hearing on the case is yet to come.
Fans also wrote that Greg Norman was accepting that LIV golf did not have an audience to watch their matches.
"Greg owning up to the fact that no one watches LIV and the only way to get viewers is to use PGA Tour players is really kind of sad, " tweeted a user.
It is worth mentioning that LIV Golf recently signed a contract with the CW Network, which will televise their matches for the 2023 season.
The first season of LIV Golf aired on their YouTube channel, and fans took a jab at it, saying:
"He forgot to add this would be aired on a subscription only YouTube channel, attracting even less viewers than the free YouTube channel LIV currently airs on."
"10,000? They will get less than that unless the run over into a rerun of boy meets world."
"Lmao 10000? Those are about as many that have ever attended a LIV event."
A few people who supported Greg Norman wrote:
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Greg Norman, please make this happen!"
"And hold the event at royal Melbourne just to piss the PGA off even more."
"This would be dope, but yall would get worked."
