Greg Norman is currently best known as the CEO of LIV Golf, but there was a time when he was a top golfer on the PGA Tour. The Australian was very popular, so popular that one LIV broadcaster said he was the sport's Tiger Woods before the legendary golfer arrived.
David Feherty said (via National Club Golfer):
“His fingerprints are all over this and always will be. People forget at times that before Tiger Woods, there was Greg Norman who brought that level of fitness. The guy won more than 100 tournaments around the world. He was Tiger Woods before Tiger Woods."
Feherty said that Norman was "the most recognizable personality on the planet for a long time," noting his iconic blonde hair and "swashbuckling moves on the golf course" as some of the reasons for his popularity.
