Overview
- Greg Norman says he did not receive the customary 2026 Masters invitation and will not attend or watch because he will be overseas for a golf course design meeting.
- Augusta National withheld invitations to Norman in 2023 and 2024, with chairman Fred Ridley citing a desire to avoid commotion tied to the PGA Tour–LIV Golf fight.
- Norman reopened his long feud with Nick Faldo by saying he has no respect for him and by labeling the three-time Masters winner a loner.
- Faldo, speaking Wednesday at Augusta, said he will release a statement on Monday after the tournament out of respect for the Masters.
- The dispute lands 30 years after Faldo overhauled Norman at the 1996 Masters, and it follows Norman stepping down as LIV Golf’s CEO and handing duties to Scott O’Neil.
