Description: Greg Norman’s Saudi-backed super league has shaken the world of golf and sent former World No.1 Phil Mickelson into exile. So is it a chance to grow the game and give players more freedom or a cynical venture motivated by greed? Leading players such as Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson have distanced themselves from the controversial project. But with a record $25 million purse for each tournament – could some yet be tempted to get involved and risk a life-time ban from the sport’s iconic events? We hear from Greg Norman, DP World Tour coach Zane Scotland, golf writer Alex Miceli and sports lawyer Oli Hunt. Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Nesta McGregor & Iain Carter Producer: Sam Sheringham
