“The podium of world golf” – Greg Norman on LIV Golf’s newest collaboration with South Korea and Japan
LIV Golf recently announced the addition of events in South Korea and the Indianapolis area to its 2025 schedule. The Saudi-backed series CEO Greg Norman seems highly motivated by the move. Interestingly, he has since hinted at a possible LIV event in Japan.
Following the announcement, the circuit CEO took to his social media to thank the Korean PGA and Incheon Mayor Yoo Jeong-bog. Notably, the post carrying images of Norman’s meetings with Asian officials also teased a screen mentioning ‘LIV Golf Japan.’
Under the post, the former PGA Tour star also thanked Japan Golf Tour Chairman Morohoshi san. He also mentioned the region’s contribution to world golf, including 22 of the top 50 women golfers.
The breakaway circuit chief said he was “grateful to be working in expanding LIV into the podium of golf.”
Greg Norman wrote on Instagram:

Earlier this week, Norman lauded his circuit’s move to introduce events in South Korea and the Indianapolis area to its 2025 schedule. He said that the new schedule was a “testament” to the tour “growing across the globe in new and returning markets.” He added that the circuit would “continue to expand throughout Asia.”
