Golf fans know that Greg Norman will no longer serve as the CEO, and Scott O'Neil will take his place at the end of August this year. Although he was a key figure for the progress of this story, the leaders of LIV assessed that it was time for fresh blood, and someone who could calm passions and at the same time help LIV Golf to progress.

Opinions regarding Scott O'Neil are mixed; Many are not familiar with his biography, and the great moves he made in his career as CEO. However, O'Neil has no doubt that he is ready for this kind of work, wanting to help the Saudi-backed Tour become the leading Tour on the golf scene.
Greg Norman shares his plans
In his latest interview with Australian Golf Digest, Norman revealed what his intentions are after he leaves his current position. An experienced figure in this sport stresses that despite the fact that he will stop being CEO, he will remain involved in this project in various forms.
The legend of this sport admits that the current job is exhausting, but he is convinced that in the last three years he has done great things not only for LIV, but also for golf.

"Once my official tenure at LIV is up ... I will stay involved with LIV in some way, shape or form," he said.
I'm going to stay on the board so there will be that part of my life but it won't be as consuming as what it was before.
When I look back on my past three-and-a-half years, from my past 20 years, oh my gosh, I really have changed the game of golf more than what people realise."- Greg concluded, as quoted by The West.
Whether the leaders of the controversial Tour will have another role for him is still unknown.
On the other hand, it is clear that they really need a figure like Norman at a time when the PGA Tour is making concrete moves, aiming to strengthen their status on the golf scene.
