“Holy cow…glad everyone is okay. Payne Stewart flashback. 😞,” referencing the 1999 Learjet crash that killed another golf legend at the age of 42.
“WOW, very scary! Glad everything is ok,” another posted.
“Those pilots were absolutely amazing to get you down on the ground safely! Great job to those two pilots for reacting quickly. You’re lucky you weren’t the next Payne Stewart,” yet another added.
Norman, who is CEO of his own namesake company that deals in apparel, interior design, real estate, golf course design and other interests, also served as CEO of the controversial LIV Golf Investments, the rival golf league to the PGA that’s funded by Saudi Arabia.
