DETERMINATION, IN GOLF AND IN LIFE

Over his storied career, Greg Norman won 86 professional events around the world, including two Open Championships and 20 US PGA Tour titles, and was ranked number one in the world for a record-breaking 331 weeks. In addition to his playing career, “The Great White Shark”—named for the determination and single-mindedness of the legendary predator—has created a diverse and successful business empire spanning apparel, wine, specialty meats, events and sports marketing, and real estate.

Norman has also become one of the world’s leading golf course designers, with Greg Norman Golf Course Design holding a portfolio of 65 open-for-play courses with an additional 53 projects in various stages of development. Chair of the Advisory Council of the Environmental Institute for Golf, Norman designs courses that are sensitive to the environment.

“I think the entire course has a great balance, but the finish will really stand out. I expect it will be considered one of the most challenging and exciting miles of golf, in terms of risk and reward. The final four will be comprised of a short par four, a long par four, a great par three and a medium-to-long par five, so a lot of things can happen on the home stretch. There could be a two-or three-shot swing which will cater to the best playersand of course will be a defining moment for spectators and the television audience alike.”
