Greg Norman continues to get asked about his affiliation with Saudi Arabia, and he continues to provide lightning-rod answers.

Washington Post journalist who was brutally murdered in 2018“Everybody has owned up to it, right? It has been spoken about, from what I’ve read, going on what you guys reported,” Norman said,“Take ownership, no matter what it is. Look, we’ve all made mistakes and you just want to learn from those mistakes and how you can correct them going forward.”

Norman, 67, is the CEO of LIV Golf, the upstart series backed by the Saudi government that is seekingGreg Norman speaks to reporters during a press conference.This week, the PGA Tour denied waivers for golfers who wanted to compete in the first tournament in the LIV Invitational Golf Series, scheduled to be played outside of London next month.

“This whole thing about Saudi Arabia and Khashoggi and human rights, talk about it, but also talk about the good the country is doing to change its culture,” Norman continued Wednesday. “There’s not many countries that can stand up and be proud of that. They can’t be proud of their past — there’s a lot of countries in this world that have a cross to bear too — but they are looking after the younger generation.”

Over the past several months, Norman has been accused of “sportswashing” — the act of using sports to launder the reputations of despots, and he“No, I have not been used for sportswashing because I’ve been to Saudi Arabia, and I’ve seen the changes that have taken place,” “Every country has done horrendous things in the past … just look at America with racism, for example, it’s just so embedded here, it’s just ugly,” he said.

I thought a mistake was forgetting to pick up toothpaste or leaving the keys in the door. Never knew “mistakes” include torture and murder.

I really hope Greg Norman doesn’t die when his private jet loses air pressure.
