Greg Norman is professional golf's all-time leading money winner. He was the first golfer to reach $10 million in earnings and from 1986 through 1990, was ranked number one four times. He won the British Open in 1986 and 1993. Norman, nicknamed the "Great White Shark," during the 1981 Masters tournament, is extremely popular with the public and the media.

From the land down under to the top of the professional golf world, Greg Norman is the ultimate in self-made men. The World Golf Hall of Fame member and winner of 86 international titles in a 29-year career is, without question, one of the most recognizable and charismatic figures in the history of the game. For companies seeking to put an impeccable image at the forefront of their organization, an appearance or endorsement by “The Shark” is the right choice. Norman, who spent an amazing 331 weeks as golf’s No. 1 ranked player, captured the hearts of Americans with his golf prowess and commitment to charity, giving much of his energy and funds to children’s anti-cancer campaigns.
Greg Norman had unbelievable talent, ranking No. 1 for over 5 consecutive years. He was dominant. Had he not lost his nearly unsurmountable lead to Faldo in the '97 Masters, he probably would have been labeled as merely snake-bitten. If the Tway bunker shot doesn't go in on the 72nd hole of the PGA, he likely makes bogey & Norman wins. If the Mize chip shot doesn't go in (an even more remarkable shot), he ... likely makes bogey and Norman wins. That alone would bring his total to 4 majors and possibly been enough wins to deflect the criticism of the many other majors that he gave away.

While Greg Norman appearances in golf tournaments have decreased in recent years, The Shark is not settling down to retire by any means. He stays busy with his Great White Shark Enterprises, a global corporation that includes golf course design, real estate, event management, merchandising, restaurants and wineries. He’s a man of many talents, and a Greg Norman appearance is sure to make your next event a winner.
Greg Norman, during a career of more than two decades, has appeared among the top-ranked golfers in the world. He has won 73 tournaments in his career and is the third highest money-earner in golfing history. In 1986 and 1993, Norman won the British Open, one of the four major championships of golf. His career has been successful by any standard, but golf fans know him best for the tournaments he did not win. Nine times Norman has finished second in major tournaments, the most times any golfer has been a runner-up. He says he hopes fans remember him as a great golfer and not as one of the unluckiest athletes in sports history.

Like his golfing career, Greg Norman's reputation as a course designer is characterized by a zeal for achievement. At Red Sky Golf Club, Norman skillfully allows the treasures of the natural landscape to dictate the flow of play. Craggy rock outcroppings, twisted knots of scrub oak, rugged gulches, and wildflower meadows all contribute to an unparalleled wilderness golf experience. This 7,580-yard (Par 72) course enjoys the Vail Valley's finest sunsets silhouetting the majesty of Castle Peak.
