The LIV Golf Invitational Series released a statement Thursday following CEO Greg Norman's remarks on the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, per ESPN's Mark Schlabach.
"The killing of Jamal Khashoggi was reprehensible. Everyone agrees on that, including Greg, as he has said as such previously on many occasions. Greg also knows that golf is a force for good around the world and can help make inroads toward positive change. That is why he is so excited about LIV and that was the point he was making."
On Wednesday, Norman was in London to promote LIV Golf's first-ever event, a three-day tournament that will occur at Centurion Club in Hertfordshire, England beginning June 9.
