Australian golf legend Greg Norman has come out fighting in the latest round of global golf warfare, accusing PGA Tour chief Jay Monahan of “bullying”, “intimidation” and “likely violation of the law”. 7NEWS
“The Tour is the players’ tour, not your administration’s tour. Why do you call the crown jewel in all tournaments outside the Majors ‘The Players Championship’ and not ‘The Administration’s Championship?’
“Simply put, you can’t ban players from playing golf. Players have the right and the freedom to play where we like. “What is wrong with allowing players to make their own decisions about where to play and how often to play? What is so wrong with player choice? Why do you feel so threatened that you would resort to such a desperate, unwise, and unenforceable threat?”Norman made reference in his letter to a recent article by the former chief lawyer to the Federal Trade Commission that stated a “lifetime ban is never going to happen”.
