Er...Were did I 'make him out to be a great guy'?
On the other hand, you are making him out to be something I'm pretty certain he isn't - which approaches defamation. Do you actually know him?
Anyway, it doesn't alter the fact that GN is simply pitching LIV as a business in competition against TPGAT, so they in turn are, quite reasonably imo, treating it as the existential threat tht it appears to be.

Greg Norman and his Saudi mates are stand up guys though?

Need two new threads one Pro Liv and one Anti Liv, then neutrals can go back and forth.

coming back to the Greg Norman/ R&A issue
Any ideas on why he has changed his mind this year ?
Maybe @Mel Smooth might know
Now obviously before this year he didn’t seem to rate going to the champions dinner that highly or indeed playing in The Open being that crucial
But this year all change - I guess most would look at it because he wanted to use the occasion to push LIv golf - which is exactly what he is being paid to do ?
Do you think that’s a realistic conclusion

It needs the mods to get a grip of the really rude people and flamers, bang their heads together and tell them not to be so aggressive or condescending when posting.

Maybe it's because it's the 150th Open and at St Andrews? Maybe it's because he wants to push LIV Golf more?
Who really knows with that narcissist.

I’d have no objection if this thread was locked from Wed to Sun this week so we can avoid LIV/PGAT ‘chat’ while The Open is on
(There is an interesting discussion to be had on this subject, but since we’re not getting that anyway what harm can it do)

And that’s prob the reason why they first turned down his request to play and why he was “uninvited” to the dinner
The Open should be purely about the Open
What was good about the last two days at the Renaissance Club was the focus was on the Scottish Open once Poulter had left the building as they say
Hopefully it stays like that for this week and making sure Norman wasn’t given a platform was key to that

As it's the 150th, this one IS a bit special though!

As he doesn't automatically qualify (too old now), why should he be granted an exemption? It's likely that that request prompted/swayed/contributed to R&A's 'uninvite' decision.
That might not prevent him from attending some of the practice rounds or other gatherings mind. But such activity would likely vindicate the R&A's decision.

We should close it now and reopen it again after the Open, the one in 2025 at Portrush.

No one is being forced to post, but I agree, it should all be about the Open now.
The Open thread should be all about the Open. The LIV thread should be all about LIV. Nobody is obliged to open one if it doesn't interest them. Shutting down discussion of LIV would in itself indicate that LIV has very serious problems, whether the moral element, or the simpler sporting issue and whether it is helping or damaging to professional golf entertainment and sport.

OK, can we have a daily post limit per member?

Close the thread and reopen it once the decision has been announced that the golf league funded by the headchoppers and journalist murderers has not been granted OWGR points...............!!

It’s simple - if you want to talk about LIV then talk about it - but don’t be aggressive towards people and also don’t bring “politics” into it.
It’s a topic that’s been debated daily and hotly across multiple platforms by golfers and at times non golfers
I’m sure we can manage to discuss this without the mods needing to close or restrict posts
