Saudi-Sponsored Golf League Boss Greg Norman Under Fire For Epic Lie After Photo Emerges Of Goons Manhandling Reporter

LIV Golf commissioner Greg Norman has found himself in hot water after he claimed he “did not hear” how a reporter was booted from a Phil Mickelson press conference — despite being photographed watching the entire incident go down, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Just hours after he teed off in London as part of the Saudi-sponsored golf league, Mickelson gave a press conference – but it would appear not everybody was invited.

Alan Shipnuck, a veteran golf reporter who has regularly called out Norman and the fact that the LIV Golf tour is backed by hundreds of millions of dollors from Saudi Arabia, attended Mickelson’s press conference.

But he was suddenly approached by security and promptly kicked out on what is believed to be Norman’s own direct orders.

“Well, a couple of neckless security dudes just physically removed me from Phil Mickelson's press conference, saying they were acting on orders from their boss, whom they refused to name,” Shipnuck tweeted immediately after getting ejected from the press conference on Thursday.

“(Greg Norman? MBS? Al Capone?) Never a dull moment up in here.”

Making the entire incident even more sensational is the fact that commissioner Norman initially denied knowing that Shipnuck was booted from the press event.

But photos show Norman not only watching the incident go down, but also lurking behind Shipnuck when he was approached by security.

“Are you aware that I just got muscled out of Phil's press conference by a couple of your goons?” Shipnuck texted Norman shortly after the incident.

“Luckily for you guys I kept my cool and deescalated the situation. Please call me to discuss.”
