On-course reporter and five-time PGA Tour winner Roger Maltbie revealed it’s unlikely he will be snapped up by LIV Golf because of a previous “spat” with Greg Norman.
Last week it was revealed the 71-year-old will no longer be part of NBC’s coverage, with the broadcaster shaking up its team for 2023.
Maltbie appeared on SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio to discuss his career and what he plans to do next.
But unlike fellow broadcaster David Feherty, it will probably not involve a move to the Saudi-backed series.
• Historic links “disappearing” due to climate change
• Every player to qualify from DP World Tour Q-school
“I guess at this age, at 71, you never say never, but that would shock me beyond belief,” he said when asked why he wouldn’t get the call.
“Greg Norman and I had sort of a spat you might call it years back, and I doubt that I would get a call from LIV, let’s put it that way.”
Despite his history with the LIV CEO, Maltbie said he would have no issue with working for the upstart league – despite his “hurt feelings” at the way his time with NBC ended.
“There’s hurt feelings and there’s also a lot of gratitude.”
