Greg Norman said he was asked not to attend the QBE Shootout in Naples, Florida, because of his involvement with LIV Golf. He founded the event in 1989.
"As we got close, ultimately the decision was made that he was going to step back and really let the focus remain on our tremendous charitable partners," Hartman said."When he started this event 34 years ago, it was all about charity then and it's all about charity now. Greg just made the decision that he didn't want anything to distract from that."
Norman said in his post that he made the decision not to attend the QBE"so the focus can remain on the missions at hand." A number of PGA golfers who have played in the QBE, including 2021 champions Jason Kokrak and Kevin Na, have joined the LIV Tour, which makes them ineligible to play in PGA Tour-affiliated events, including the QBE.
