Faldo’s new statement also contained links to those WhatsApp video messages in which he explained that the proposed show “was not all about LIV”, that he wanted to interview “fellow champions” and that there was nothing wrong with the two being “chalk and cheese”.
He continued: “We’ve had our battles through the years, so I think that would be interesting to talk about. And with LIV, of course we will have a difference in opinion, and we won’t see eye-to-eye, but it’s just our opinions.
“It’s not to corner you in any way, I’ll be fascinated by how you got to that and where we are now, and what you think is the way forward for global golf. That’s the tone of the whole thing.”
Faldo explained that the interview would take place in December 2022, in Florida. Speaking in a second video, he added: “We [he and Norman] will control the narrative of this.
“We were inside the ropes. There is no journalist that had the right sense of what we do, feel, think, or that fully understands what our life was like.
“If we do this, the world of golf will listen to what you have to say.”
It is unclear whether Norman responded to the videos.
