Shark Bites: “Isn’t it a shame that golf is not like the ATP”

Two decades after floating the idea of a World Tour for golf, GREG NORMAN believes it’s still a relevant concept and that the sport he once dominated – spending 331 weeks as No. 1 – should follow the lead set by the ATP.

Greg, two decades ago, you were very supportive of the creation of a World Tour. With the majority of top players playing on the PGA Tour and The European Tour expanding its global footprint across Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia, do you think it’s still a relevant concept?

Europe were the smart ones; they were the first to the game. They recognised the fact that they’ve got to go to these other parts of the world to grow the game of golf.
