(CNN) Golf great Greg Norman has appeared to downplay the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi ahead of the new Saudi-backed LIV Golf professional series. Norman is LIV Golf chairman. Earlier this week, LIV Golf, which debuts this June, revealed a new $2 billion investment and expanded event schedule on Tuesday. The lucrative Saudi Arabia-backed golf series says the latest financial commitment "will be used to fund ongoing expansion and prize purses for the new LIV Golf." I guarantee that a lot of people will come eventually to play with LIV Golf," he said.
