NEW YORK, June 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM announced
today that it has signed World Golf Hall of Fame member
Greg Norman as its newest host on
the SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio channel.
The two-time British Open winner, whose aggressive style of play
and bold approach to life and business captivated fans and earned
him the nickname the "Great White Shark," will host Attack Life
Radio with Greg Norman.
The monthly, hour-long program will not only focus on golf, but
feature Norman, who has lived an extraordinary and adventurous life
and achieved enormous success in his entrepreneurial and
philanthropic endeavors, discussing and sharing philosophies and
advice for getting the most out of life.
After years of being the one fielding questions, Norman is now
assuming the role of interviewer and he will welcome to his show a
diverse set of guests from the worlds of golf, politics and
business.
Norman will make his SiriusXM debut on Monday, June 11 (2:00 pm
ET/11:00 am PT), the week of
the U.S. Open, an event he finished in the top-ten in five
times. Norman's guests on the premiere episode will include
the past two U.S. Open Champions – Brooks
Koepka (2017) and Dustin
Johnson (2016), as well as Norman's son, Greg Norman Jr.
Attack Life Radio can be heard by listeners nationwide on
the SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio channel, which is available to
subscribers on SiriusXM radios (Sirius channel 208, XM channel
92). Those with streaming access can listen online, on-the-go
with the SiriusXM mobile app and at home on a wide variety of
connected devices, including smart TVs, Amazon Alexa devices, Apple
TV, PlayStation, Roku, Sonos speakers and more. Episodes of the
show will also be available each month on SiriusXM On
Demand.
"I have been fortunate enough to meet many great and fascinating
people throughout my life – from heads of state and presidents to
world-class athletes and business moguls. This show will provide
listeners with a 360-degree view of my life and give one-of-a-kind
access to some of these incredible minds and personalities," said
Greg Norman. "This is a new endeavor
for me and SiriusXM is the perfect partner to help me embark on
this journey and share my life with the world."
"Attack Life Radio is a perfectly descriptive title for a
show hosted by Greg Norman. Whether
on the golf course, in business, or life in general, Greg
approaches everything he does with tremendous enthusiasm, and we're
excited to have him bring that passion to SiriusXM," said
Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's
President and Chief Content Officer. "Greg will give our
listeners access to his one-of-a-kind perspective on his sport, and
what it takes to succeed in business and in life."
Norman was one of golf's most dominant players throughout much
of the 1980s and early 1990s, when he held the World #1 ranking for
an incredible 331 weeks. He has won 91 professional events -
including 20 PGA TOUR titles - during his career, which is
highlighted by his two Open Championship victories in 1986 and
1993. He was the first player to surpass $10 million in career earnings and won the
Arnold Palmer Award, as the tour's
leading money winner, three times (1986, 1990 and 1995). In
2001 he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame with a higher
percentage of votes than any other inductee in history. In 2009 and
2011, Greg served as the Presidents Cup captain of the
International Team.
Norman channeled the same intensity he displayed on the golf
course into his endeavors in business and has become one of the
world's most successful examples of an
athlete-turned-entrepreneur. More than a dozen companies
around the world bear his name and the iconic shark logo as part of
the Greg Norman Company, which he leads as Chairman & CEO. His
internationally recognized brand boasts more than 100 golf course
designs across six continents, a global real estate collection,
award-winning wine, golf-inspired lifestyle apparel and a diverse
investment division.
Throughout his life, Norman's philanthropic efforts have quietly
raised millions of dollars for charities, including CureSearch for
Children's Cancer, which for over two decades has been the primary
benefactor of Norman's PGA TOUR sanctioned event, the QBE
Shootout.
