It appears 'The Shark' has lost his teeth as reports emerge that Greg Norman, the CEO and commissioner of LIV Golf, will not have a role going forward in the merged PGA-LIV league.
The bombshell announcement came today that the two sides in golf's tour war agreed to lay down their arms and join forces - while also dropping litigation.
Reports from Sports Illustrated's Bob Harig say that Norman only found out about the planned merger just minutes before it became public on Tuesday.
Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the governor of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), said on CNBC that he had reached out to Norman just before going on air.
'I made a call just before this and of course he is a partner with us, and all the stakeholders that we have with us they had the call right before this interview,' Al-Rumayyan said.
LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman wasn't told about the league's merger with the PGA Tour until today
PIF's Yasir Al-Rumayyan said he told Norman about the merger minutes before it was leaked
Norman's name wasn't in the announcement and he's reportedly not part of the merged league
