Common Joes enjoying LIV Golf? Greg Norman Jr. shares wild concept

One other golf season is coming to an finish, and whereas the richest professionals on the PGA Tour and LIV Golf bought significantly richer over the course of the yr, we nonetheless are with no closing settlement formally ending professional golf’s divorce.

In consequence, each side are persevering with on their very own separate paths. The PGA Tour, for instance, is contemplating a bevy of modifications to scale back the sphere sizes at tournaments to a extra manageable measurement. The modifications are at present earlier than the Participant Advisory Council, awaiting its resolution.

Among the many methods to achieve their aim of smaller tournaments is the elimination of Monday Qualifiers at some tournaments, and the discount of spots obtainable at Monday Qualifiers at different occasions.

For these not within the know, Monday Qualifiers present a possibility for non-Tour gamers to play their manner into that week’s event. They’ve been the supply of quite a few feel-good tales of unknown gamers incomes a spot in PGA Tour occasions.

However now that might largely be coming to an finish. Enter the son of present LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman, Greg Norman Jr.

Upon listening to of the potential modifications to PGA Tour Monday Qualifiers, Norman Jr. took to X to share a wild concept for LIV that he has “been preaching for some time.”

The concept? Run weekly qualifiers at LIV occasions to make up a “Individuals’s Crew” that may compete in opposition to the professionals like Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau.

“For what it’s value… I’ve been preaching for awhile that LIV ought to completely open up weekly qualifiers for a Individuals’s Crew, a workforce that anybody can qualify for,” Norman Jr. wrote on X. “Should you play nicely, you keep on the workforce, and most of the people can take part in shared possession and governance.”

Now, the qualifying occasions would doubtless stop any true Common Joe hackers from teeing it up in opposition to the professionals, as is the case with Monday Qualifiers on the PGA Tour. Nevertheless it nonetheless would offer a brand new and entertaining avenue to attract curiosity from sports activities followers to the upstart league.

Whether or not or not it might develop into a actuality is one other query. The elder Norman’s contract with LIV expires on the finish of the yr, and we don’t but know whether or not it will likely be renewed or if another person will take the helm at LIV Golf.
