Gregory John Norman
(1955 - 2XXX)
Born: Mount Isa, Australia
Norman, the "Great White Shark," won more than 90 tournaments worldwide, including two Open Championships. He maintained his #1 world golf ranking for 331 weeks. In 2001 he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Norman is as productive as a businessman as he was as a premier golfer.
One of his businesses is Greg Norman Golf Course Design (GNGCD). It's a premier signature golf course design firm. GNGCD has designed over 100 courses located in over 30 countries and on six continents. Because each design bears his name, he personally makes it his mission to get involved with every step of the design process, from walking the virgin site, to planning and construction, to opening day.
