Lifelong golf pro here and this is the single best-most informative interview about life, competing and golf I ever heard. Thanks Dan Patrick and Greg Norman.🙌👍💪❤️
Golfing legend and his record speaks for itself !! Great sportsman when in defeat and you didn't see much of that from other golfers but Greg always kept going.
Greg Norman, one of the true gentleman of world sports, and a hero to Australians who love the game of golf. Many of the golfers today could learn a lot from Greg if they watched how he handle himself when he won, but especially when he lost. What a LEGEND.
Good on you Greg, big fan, attack life, all the best mate.
Greg has always been my favorite player. He is a true legend.
He was mine growing up.. and despite being English, i wanted him to win back in ‘96. But the truth is, he folded when the pressure was on too many times. Having said that, he was solid as a rock in ‘93.. with the worlds best breathing down his neck
Greg is the man. Total respect. The LIV haters lol, man they just don’t get anything right lol. Stay cool Greg, the adults are fans.
Great interview...and a great player of his time ..respect Greg ..
God Bless you Greg Norman!!
Wish I had the 30-30-30-10 rule explained to me 40 years ago! Thanks for all the wonderful golf memories and golden advice, Mr. Norman! So glad that rogue wave didn’t take you out!
Absolutely amazing! It never ceases to amaze me, the trolls and haters that have never done a damn thing in their life criticizing the men's life story who actually accomplished so much. Go back underneath the rock you crawled out from. Unless you can this great man credit. 👊👏
Absolutely! Why Tiger never visited him and accepted his invitations to get his Two-Major scepter (Greg's own words really)...and have it bequeathed (the same scepter that choked away another 4-5 Majors) to a 15-Major champion. I have no idea why Tiger would disrespect him like that.
Stick to your own rock.
Looking at some of the comments here I’m with Nick Faldo, “Don’t let the bastards get you down.”
Sounds like they didn’t, and they won’t.
SIR Nick ditched his family TWICE for college pussy. Fuck Nick !!
I love Greg's quote.
Greg thank you for me taking up golf in my latter years. More recently thank you for Liv golf . It is amazing and what we have always wanted .
Gag
Gag
Love you Greg, always have and always will
Ya gotta love Norman. P{ayed the long game on world tour and is winning...
Your a stand up guy Greg 💪
Pretty impressive how he persevered through so much heartbreak in the majors with some losses almost being cruel. Shoots 75 in the 84 US Open Playoff. Leads after 54 in every major of 1986 but only closes one of the four. Four straight back nine birdies on the back, including an absurd one on 17, and then just has such an errant shot after the perfect drive to lose. Shoots 75 in the final round of the 86 US Open. Drops four strokes to go into the final hole of the PGA tied and then Tway has a miracle hole out and he loses. In 1987 he loses in a playoff to another miracle hole out at Augusta. In 1989 he birdies 9, 10, 13, 15, 16, 17 and is tied for the lead and yet again hits a horrible approach and misses the playoff by one shot. Then shoots a final round 64 to make the playoff, going into the final hole is tied for ten lead in the playoff; then plays the hold so badly he concedes. And of course the most famous of all with the 96 masters. But man he just took a lot of tough losses in the majors but never stopped coming.
Seems like a great human being.
Wow so true...
Thanks. Greg. 😉
I enjoyed this immensely as Greg is completely misunderstood and especially now with the LIV TOUR which is what has made the PGA figure he was right about a new tour. Has Dan Patrick changed his tune about it yet?
Every great achiever has a big ego, either outwardly or inside themselves. They must to survive and thrive. Greg is proud and should be.
2 time major winner, wealthy businessman, legend in his own mind. Hard to get a word out of him.
Saw Greg a few times in Australia and once in America. The first time was at Kingston Heath he was unknown and very young man. The other 2 times were at Royal Melbourne and Metropolitan. In America at Muirfield Village in 1995 where he won.
His comment about trimming the tree on the range with his irons to get used to how to flight the ball is something I think a lot of amateurs miss. People are taught to understand the distance they can hit a particular club with but they don't think much about the trajectory. I often play with people that grab a 7 because they're 150yds out but ignore the fact that there is a branch 10yds in front of them they need to stay under. They hit it smack into the tree. Knowing what club you need to get over or under something is vital.
Saw Greg Norman & Payne Stewart in Ft. Worth at the Colonial in 1991-92
We called it "cross-country." Great fun.
That he only won 2 majors with all of those near misses is actually pretty amazing. The 1996 Masters is one that I'm sure will stick in his crawl until the day he dies because he had that tournament won easily. Sometimes you can want something so much that you forget to just go out and perform and he just flat out choked that Sunday. As good as he was he had a bit of a mental block going on in majors for whatever reason. It's why Jack has 18 and Tiger has 15 but Norman only has 2.
Only 2, bet you be real happy with only one.
He's a swell mate!
Maybe the most over-rated "great golfer" recent times...but still awesome and so fun to watch. Langer was way better with the short irons even though some talked about how deadly Greg was with the short clubs. Nicklaus and Tiger way above Greg in the mental aspect, course MGMT, and putting. But I like Greg, because he had the tenacity to be successful and he is oh so human.
As a legit golf flunky, I certify Greg Norman as one of the best ever.
i remember when greg was going to drive the pace car at the Indianapolis 500 but back out i always wonder why!
At the moment of truth, he has that kind of legacy.
he lost the masters on chip by LArry Mize and the PGA to Tway on a sand shot, lost the U.S. Open to Fuzzy in a 18 hole playoff but choked at Shinnecock and the Masters to Faldo, Greg would have been up there with the greats if he came through, i remember him saying that his father told him that he wouldn't amount to anything in life that's hard to overcome!@@wreckim
every sport is in the feet best athletes have the best foot feel
Miss the green and blame the caddy! Make BILLIONS odd the PGA, then take millions from Saudi. You the man Greg!
Jesus is there anything he hasn’t done? Oh yes, one of the absolute worst choke in Majors history. Scratch in 18 months? Not surfing Greg, it’s in the hands.
Love your clothes as well as your golf game 😊
10:15 "Knee high to a grasshopper"... I thought that was a backwoods American phrase. I've used it myself more than once. But I guess it's world wide. I've heard Brits use it as well.
1/31/24, 1:37 p.m.
When was this recorded?
Had to be a few years ago. Patrick hates LIV and wouldn’t do this interview today
57:34 2018
brilliant - intelligent man ! I hope LIV will be succesfull as he has been so far
Ben Hogan used to drive with his fingertips to remind himself to stay light with his grip.
Great body the shark is still a stud
Greg also said that he would be the first golfer to win a million dollars in one year and he went out and did just that.
As one of the best 80 yr old golfers on the planet. Next time millions of you golfers run to the public driving range try my simmons theory. Place the ball tray behind you. Rake one ball at a time to a position in front of you. This will remove the multiple balls from your field of vision. This one ball is what you would see on the T box and fairway when you play for real. This will allow you to improve your rhythm and tempo not being anxious to finish all the balls. The future is up to you. Good luck
Cool-it took all of 20 seconds for Norman to show his unparalleled egomaniacness. Some things never change
AGREED 100 percent. Narcissist.
So you do not imagine ever success story has an ego to it, then how the f##k would you know ,sounds like you may not have been to successful.Must be a pain in the arse to have look up at some one you despise.
What absolute crap
He gave us LIV which I love and I’m 76 and play golf everyday the course is open
The first time I ever paid the extra money for a golf hat with a logo it had Greg’s Shark on it! I first saw him In Oklahoma when he was in tour championship I couldn’t believe how broad his shoulders were and how small his waist was. My wife said wow 😊⛳️😇😉
What year is this from?
57:34
2018 apparently (and yes it appears at above time mark)
he had the apple
It's an incredible, unbelievable career! If you look at where he came from; a son of an engineer, and a mom who was near scratch player herself, and the club life etc....and from Australia! Compare that to the easy life that Trevino and Hogan, one learned to play golf with bottles and was born the son a grave digger, the other, had a father that killed himself right in front of him, and lived a life of relative luxury as his older brother left school at 15 to support the family. But Greg's is a true-grit story of unreal efforts to overcome the burden of so much talent, and every door being opened. Look at Trump's kids....he didn't become that. You see, I am a fan.
It doesn’t matter how rich or successful your family is you can’t buy a great golf swing 😊⛳️😇😉
As someone who lives in Townsville, and an old (ex) surfer, I can tell you there is no surf in Townsville.......... lol.
Dude, he said when he LIVED in Townsville he surfed. Doesn't mean that's where he surfed. Plenty of spots near there for that.
It's incredible to me how many fans want to heckle and scream at players on the course. No class at all and golf is supposed to be a classy sport. Some people really should be ashamed of themselves.
He’s a great player; however, I don’t understand why he never won The Masters nor the US Open nor the PGA Championship.
He came close but somehow, missed out on those events. Nonetheless, he had other events that he succeeded.
If TW join's LIV & your not there WHO WOULD THE SAUDI'S TAKE
Me, me, me. Always has been, always will be.
What do you think this interview should be about? You?
@@LegolasFan69 interesting question. Since Norman goes down as one of the players who has least performed to his potential (like Agassi in tennis), it would seem that a bit of humility might shine through. His tskes of going from strength to strength seems surprising. His record in personal relationships is pretty telling also. And then there is the ubiquitous moan among men today - “I wish my daddy had been more encouraging”. No not about me, but about insight, oh yeah. And what about his 40 year quest to upend the traditions of golf? Rock music and contrived teams. It seems that the driving force here is money. Phenomenally successful athletes perhaps could be seen as having the luxury of considering the real draw of golf - its traditions and history. So as a diehard fan of the game, it could be said to be about me - I barely watch the diluted PGA fields and barf at the LIV circus. I also feel kind of bad that Rory has been collateral damage
@@alexandermayer2026 He talked a lot about failure and what it taught him. This guy spent 330 weeks as the number one golfer in the world with two majors along the way. Did he also have a lot of failure along the way? Sure. But he did it while striving to be the absolute best.
@@frankl6831 his involvement in the destruction of the game of golf is the legacy for which he will be known. This beyond massive ego knows no bounds. Are we now in the third year of split fields? No fan cares about the players squeezing every dollar out of the game. No one cares the Norman knows what is best for the players. We want, as fans, to watch the best fields the most often. As a former professional tennis player, I will always remember the sense of awe walking out onto the centre court of Wimbledon. The impact was the knowledge that the game is bigger than any one player. Norman believes there is nothing more important than his own goals and plans. I can’t wait for rock music and flashing neon lights as the final foursome walks down the 18th on Sunday at St. Andrews with Norman’s nude being pulled behind a plane overhead.
@@alexandermayer2026 We get it. You don't like Greg Norman and what he's done to the game of golf. So why did you even click on this interview? (Re your original comment: Who else did you think this interview would be about?)
Snake bit in the Majors…
Greatest CHOKER of all time PERIOD ...
A great golfer with immense talent but on the downside given his talent and the immense talent of Tom Weiskopf a little earlier I feel that they were the two biggest underachievers in golf. No disrespect intended but I just feel that neither achieved their potential.
Unless a athlete suffers immeasureable physical injury...like (Bo Jackson) virtually all athletes realize their potential. Thats what separates them by how many times they can dominate or win in whatever career. I'm not trying to be rude...its just how I see it.
Noone realizes most of their potential
Same could be said for Tiger, Phil, Rory etc… all immense talents that should’ve won more majors
He achieved a lot more than he expected,and he achieved more than 99% more than any pro that ever played.
@@LegolasFan69Roy is loved by corrupt golf media hasn’t won a major in ten years. Maybe now that he’s not the mouthpiece for LIV hater’s with a clear mind I hope he plays great 😊⛳️😇😉
He only won one major i think kind of sad, took this out in capitalism, angry business moves
Norman has far more class than all the old PGA boys club cowards talking shit about him. He’s brave and genuinely cares about the international game. Can’t say the same about the old fat US Ryder Cup boys who hardly lived a hard day in their life. Deserves a LOT more credit
near brushes with defeat? Masters 1996 was a choke, not a brush with defeat. Lets be honest and give an honest portrayal of this guy,
Same Same bud
It's really awful in sports how the media and fans label a player a choker and a loser because they finished second in the major or the finals.
Losing the NBA finals is so much worse than losing in the first round or not even making the playofs.
I could name over a hundred pro golfers that never won a major and never even had much of a chance to win one.
But nobody calls them a loser or a choker.
Norman wins a major and people still say "He should have won more!"
Geez, it's pathetic.
Shame his recent behaviour has tainted the past.
Greg believes in gravity - what a disappointment
54 hole skin game
He took Blood Money from Saudi Arabia!!
He and pif probably payed for this air time
@@user-jm9bq8sx6x because Thankfully, I have something of value, not just a price tag.🤣
@@user-jm9bq8sx6x there´s a present for you between M-BS and Mohammed Bin Norman´s legs to chew on. GO ON, AND ENJOY!
The Story of taking Bets on the Course with members is recounted by Greg ( I like Greg ) But this is embellished -- was $800 down with 2 holes to play ( almost 30 weeks wages) -- said was offered to double -- So either down $1600 or Break Even -- Greg embellished said Down $1600 or up $800 - that is not Double its a $800 2 /1 odds -- so has he simply made error of recollection or lied -- If Lied other tales may also become less credible to believe
I googled found a write up on interview in 2019 -- it highlights the double -- but is more accurate to what the true bet was -- not gregs recollection
I said I like Greg - I do - great golfer - great businessman - great attitude - love Liv Golf
Just didnt like Embellished Story
Biggest choke artist in golf
Bob Tway
@@user-dv3do1od2r You say he's the biggest choke artist in golf, but now he has the last laugh because now he is worth over Billions of dollars and and finally got back at the PGA Tour with 2022 LIV Golf , and got robbed twice in final Rounds of Major Tournaments 1986 by Bob Tway and Larry Mize , should have at least 4 or 5 majors.
Yeah, choked all the way to fame and riches. How you doin, bud?
@@graerindley6312 drinking his wine....lol
@@marks3702 I was just messing with you. Shark was the man in the Eighties. I actually was at Inverness when Tway bunkered out in '86.
😖 not a fan of this guy…at all
Good but not great.
You, lousy, but never mediocre.
