Quick Quotes

GREG NORMAN: To Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi Golf Club, thank you very much. What we witnessed today and the last four days is something very unique and special to the game of golf, one that I'm extremely proud of and one my entire team on LIV Worldwide is extremely proud of.

We've actually showcased the fact that LIV is a very sought-after league. Players want to get involved with it. Players are dying to get involved with it. The last four days, as mentioned, it was showcased.

The format, my phone has been blowing up since I've been here. People from all over the world have been watching this, because obviously it has a very powerful meaning about this pathway to the LIV league for 2024. That's a testament to the thought and the process that we put through creating this opportunity for the three guys who made it here today.

Obviously there are other guys who did not make it. The sport is a cruel sport. Golf can be even crueler at times. We've all experienced it. No matter how great you are, no matter how bad you play, whether you're a 27 or a 100 shooter, golf can hurt a lot at times.

To all those players who didn't make it, I want to thank you for your commitment, your entry into this event. Without you guys, it obviously wouldn't have had the stature and the expertise and the exposure that it had.

To Abu Dhabi Golf Club, I met the superintendent a minute ago, to all the guys behind the scenes that make it happen, I really do appreciate it. It's not a one-man show. It's a massive effort to get anything like this up and going and off the ground, and to Abu Dhabi Golf Club, I really do appreciate it, and maybe one day I'll come back and see how hard this golf course truly is because under pressure, which is the main thing, the pressure is what creates these players.

To the three of them who made it through here today, they felt it. They felt it to a degree of what it means and the life-changing effort that they've just succeeded in getting to.

LIV Golf and LIV Golf League is 14 events around the world for a substantial amount of prize money, but more important than that, it's the fact that they're going to be joining a team, and those fellow team members, the other three of them, are looking forward to having each and every one of them on those teams. That's what I love about it. That's what our players, our captains and all the other players who have been able to play and the other 45 players who have been on the team.

To you guys, come on up here. Congratulations, you guys. You've done a phenomenal job. You know what pressure is, and next year... come on up, guys.
