Who Was Greg’s Caddie?

Tony Navarro filled the position of being Greg Norman’s caddie for over a decade.

During their 12 years together, including years in the 90s, Greg enjoyed over 20 wins.

Greg Norman’s Basic Bio

Greg is Australian born, to parents Toini and Mervin Norman.

He was always good at sports, enjoying cricket and rugby, although he hoped to become a pro surfer one day.

Norman’s Family Life

Greg has been married three times, and his current wife is Kirsten Kutner. In 1981 Greg married Laura Andrassy, but they got divorced in 2007. During their marriage they had two children.

Then, during 2008 and 2009 he was married to the tennis player Chris Evert, but they then split up too.

Greg and Kirsten—a long time friend with whom he also had an affair during his first marriage as noted in nowtolove.com.au—got married in 2010.

How The Shark Got Into Golf

When Greg was 15, his mother introduced him to golf, a sport she was fond of. She herself had a single-figure handicap but she probably didn’t expect her son to perform so well, so quickly.

From being her caddy and learning golf basics with a 27 handicap to having a scratch handicap took Greg only 18 months!

This was only the start and at the young age of 19 he was already being noticed, even playing in the Queensland Open.

In 1975, when he was 20, he had the position of assistant professional with Billy McWilliam and in 1976 he turned pro.

Greg went from being introduced to the game to playing professionally, in only six years! And then, he never stopped excelling at the game, joining the PGA tour in 1981.

Where Does The Shark Live?

Greg lives in Hobe Sound, Florida. He lives there with his current wife, Kirsten.

According to sportskeeda.com, Nick has a stunning home in Florida, valued at $65 million these days, although he purchased it for less than $5 million in the 1990s.

This house sits on a 26 000ft² property and you’ll find a tennis pavilion, seven different buildings and even a beach there.

Who Is Greg Norman Jnr?

Greg’s children may not achieve the same milestones as he did in golf, but it seems they all have success in their blood.

Greg Norman Jnr did play a bit of golf, for example he played in the 1998 Junior Open Championships and also did a 2007 Father-and-Son Challenge with Greg Snr says golfbytourmiss.com.

He even joined the management of Golf Skate Caddy, a golf transportation product, as mentioned on Greg’s website, shark.com. But Greg Jnr was never as focused on this sport as his father was.

Eventually though, it was other sports that captured and held his attention, such as his big love for kiteboarding and wakeboarding.

With his father’s help he turned these interests into business ventures by establishing wakeboard parks in the US.

Funnily enough, Greg Snr says on his website he never got the hang of kiteboarding, even though he is good at various other sports.

Conclusion

Greg Norman made impact wherever he went and his legacy will live on in various industries.

He may be called ‘The Shark’ but his generous, charitable side is just as known.

Not bad for a young boy who only wanted to surf.
