Greg Norman has withdrawn from next month’s Australian Open .The reason behind his pull out is a slow recovery from shoulder surgery.
The former world number one was billed as one of the major draw cards for the Dec. 3-6 Australian Open, signing a three-year appearance deal. But he pulled out from the event and his own tournament a week later on medical advice.
Golf Australia chief executive Stephen Pitt in his statement on Thursday said, “Naturally we’re disappointed that Greg will not be able to join us.”
“We wish him well in his recovery and look forward to seeing him back in the Australian Open field in 2010.”
