Report: Former NBA, NHL exec Scott O’Neil to replace Greg Norman as LIV CEO-commissioner
Why LIV Golf captains see team golf as future for the sport
Bryson Dechambeau and Bubba Watson detailed the future of team golf in a press conference with Jon Rahm, Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka.
With Greg Norman’s turbulent reign as the CEO of LIV Golf in the rearview mirror, a new report indicates that a former executive with the NHL and NBA is ready to assume the post as the league enters its fourth season.
According to a report at ESPN, Scott O’Neil has been tabbed to replace Norman, a Palm Beach Gardens resident, and take over the league, which disrupted the sport as a whole, but has yet to gain major traction in the sports universe.
O’Neill served as the CEO of the Philadelphia 76ers and then added a similar role above the New Jersey Devils as part of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment.
Norman’s tenure was stormy as the 20-time PGA Tour winner and former world No. 1 has butted heads with numerous organizations, made outlandish claims about the league’s ascension and even showed up at major events using tickets from a secondary market.
Although it’s yet to crack the TV market with a major network deal, LIV Golf announced 10 of the expected 14 events for next year. Returning to the schedule are LIV Golf Chicago at Bolingbrook Golf Club from Aug. 8-10, LIV Golf Dallas at Maridoe Golf Club from June 27-29, LIV Golf Andalucia at Valderrama from July 11-13 and LIV Golf UK at JCB Golf and Country Club from July 25-27.
Two new venues will bring the league to Korea and Indiana for the first time. Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea will host LIV Golf Korea May 2-4 and The Club at Chatham Hills in Westfield, Indiana, will host LIV Golf Indianapolis from Aug. 15-17. The Indianapolis event will be the individual season finale, which was in Chicago this year.
