If he donated to charity as much as he gambled the people in his state would have no hungry homeless. Its just a money grab.
Norman is the culprit here again, did you know he purposely missed his 2nd shot at the Masters to let Jack Nicklaus win! Here again, Norman cant play anymore so he is deep water fishing for money. And he has made a ton off of his business's, smart man, but still has a squishy side, just like Phil.

Say what?! Is the earth really flat also? lol
Norman's idea of a separate tour back in the early 90's, was the impetus behind the eventual creation of WGC events, so he wasn't totally off in trying to establish something between the majors and regular tour events. I also read that Norman is somehow involved with Phil and this Saudi tour thing - but who knows? Worth an estimated $400M, I doubt Norman is losing sleep on figuring out how to make a few extra bucks.
