YASIR AL-RUMAYYAN, GREG NORMAN AMONG MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN SPORTS BUSINESS

"No sports story drew more attention this year than the launch of LIV Golf, which sparked a civil war in golf that’s still being fought in both courtrooms and the press. LIV is led by Norman, who was able to lure over Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka, among other top names. Al-Rumayyan is the point person for Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which has committed over $2 billion to LIV, is pouring millions more into the Premier League’s Newcastle United and has its sights set on further investment and disruption throughout global sports."
