LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman recently took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle to highlight some top moments for the breakaway series 2023. His highlights included Jon Rahm’s arrival, Brooks Koepka’s PGA Championship win, Bryson DeChambeau’s historic round of 58, and many more. He also added a point in which he hinted about more players expected to join the Saudi-backed league.

A few points were even more attractive as he mentioned the potential merger deal between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, and their financers that would make the game better for fans and players. Another highlighting point was Norman’s description of their newest member, Jon Rahm. He wrote,

“The best and most important player in the world today -Jon Rahm – joins our LIV family”

Greg Norman also emphasized on making the game of golf more appealing in Australia. He mentioned how the LIV Golf Adelaide event successfully drew a record crowd. He also assured that their “purpose and mission” has remained same since day one, and he hopes to continue it in the future.

Norman thanked his “loyal staff” for standing by his side. He ended by hoping for new heights for the Saudi-backed league in 2024.
