One of sport's most recognizable brands,
GREG NORMAN
has parlayed his success on the golf course into a multibillion-dollar corporation
that delves into apparel, wine, real estate, merchandise, licensing and golf
course design. Now Norman, the CEO of Great White Shark Enterprises, has branched
into writing with the Oct. 17 release of "The Way of the Shark: Lessons on Golf,
Business, and Life" (Atria Books, $29.95). This week, SportsBusiness Daily is
providing exclusive excerpts from the book, in which Norman writes about the
launch of his iconic "shark" collection, his attempt to create a World Golf
Tour and his business criteria. Today,
we excerpt Chapter 21 in which Norman
writes about his controversial attempt to create the first ever World Golf Tour
in 1994.
