About Greg Norman
Born in Queensland Australia on 10th February 1955, Greg Norman was not interested in golf until 1970, when as a 15 year old school boy, he decided to caddy for his mother's regular midweek game and she discovered Norman's hidden talent for the game that would one day make him famous.
Over the next few years Norman spent time working as a trainee for the Australian PGA, where he played in amateur and open tournaments throughout Australia. Then in 1976, just six years after picking up his first club, Norman turned professional. From here there was no stopping him- with 86 career victories he is now in the World Golf Hall of Fame. Norman has held the number 1 World Ranking for 331 weeks and was the first person in PGA Tour history to surpass $10 million in career earnings.
Norman is also the creator of the 'Greg Norman Golf Foundation' in Queensland which was set up to provide an opportunity for young Australian children to learn and develop their golfing skills.
