SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda – With an announcement looming that a proposed global tour will name Greg Norman its commissioner, a concept that had previously been largely speculation has become very real.

Following a meeting between representatives of the Saudi-backed tour and select members of the media on Wednesday in New York City (Golf Channel was not invited to the meeting) the circuit is expected to name Norman commissioner and outline an investment in the Asian Tour, which announced earlier this year it will sanction the Saudi International starting in 2022.
