Greg Norman was officially replaced from his role as LIV Golf's CEO by former Legoland boss Scott O'Neil earlier this month in a move that shocked many around the golfing world. 'LONG LIV GOLF,' Norman had proclaimed after officially vacating the role that had seen him launch the controversial Saudi-backed golf league back in 2021.

And while he will no doubt still have one eye on LIV, with the organisation still in negotiations with the PGA Tour and DP World Tour over a shocking merger, Norman will turn his attention to a new project closer to home. The two-time major winner has been announced as the latest individual to join a powerful and exciting list of sporting and commercial directors on the 2032 Brisbane Olympics board.

Norman, who is also known as 'The Shark', had previously added that he will continue to have an involvement with LIV Golf, but said he was excited about his new position as part of the Brisbane Olympics board of directors. 'While I wish I could wind the clock back four decades and compete in 2032 – it is a privilege to help shape the Brisbane Games,' Norman told the Courier Mail.
