Greg Norman was labeled the "Great White Shark" by a newspaper reporter during the 1981 US Masters Tournament, but he began exhibiting all the characteristics of that deep-sea creature long before that. As a teenager, like today, Norman was already tenacious in his pursuit of excellence. He was a regular on the rugby and Australian Rules football fields of Queensland and was regarded as an outstanding player. As a 15-year-old he decided to give golf a try in 1970 and went on to become one of the greatest golfers the game has ever known.
During his time on the US PGA Tour, Norman earned more than USD $1 million five times on the U.S. PGA Tour, including three Arnold Palmer Awards as the Tour's leading money winner in 1986, '89 and '94. He was also the first person in Tour history to surpass USD $10 million in career earnings.
He has 29 top-10 finishes in the Majors (US Masters, US. Open, British Open, PGA Championship) and has won 91 professional events around the world, including 20 U.S. PGA Tour titles and 14 European Tour titles. In December 2007, he finished seventh at the South African Airways Open despite playing in only his fifth regular Tour event in over two years.
