This wasn’t a no.

Mollie Marcoux Samaan, the LPGA commissioner, said she would listen to Greg Norman about working with LIV Golf if he called.

“It’s my responsibility to evaluate every opportunity,” Marcoux Samaan told the London Times. “I would engage in a conversation if it would achieve our aim of promoting women’s golf, but there needs to be input from players and sponsors. There’s a lot of factors to consider before we do business with LIV Golf.”

Last week, Norman told the Palm Beach Post that “100 percent” LIV Golf wants to be involved in the women’s game. LIV Golf, of course, has created upheaval by taking top players away from the PGA Tour on the men’s side.

It’s become a popular topic of conversation on the LPGA tour, Marisa Fassi told Golfweek. Cristie Kerr said the entire tour could leave if offered big money.

“Everybody has different opinions in terms of what the guys are doing but then when it’s switched to us, it would be very hard to say no to that,” Fassi said.

With that in mind, it would make sense for the LPGA to work with LIV Golf rather than lose all, or most, of its members.

“I think all of us care about this tour a lot,” Fassi said. “I don’t think any of us truly want to leave.”
