Norman Revises Summer Schedule

In the midst of a stellar four-week stretch a year ago, Norman finished third in the Senior British Open and fourth in the U.S. Senior Open.

JUPITER, Fla. -- Greg Norman had intended to resume his competitive schedule in July with a trio of major championships, but he announced today that he has postponed his return. As a result, Norman will not play the U.S. Senior Open, the Open Championship or the Senior British Open.

"My knee is fine," Norman said. "My game just isn't where I want it to be, and the last thing I want to do is take a spot away from another deserving professional."

Norman has been rehabilitating his right knee following a second surgery in February that repaired damage to the meniscus. He was recently given clearance to resume practicing.

"Now I can focus on my game and get ready to play some tournaments later this summer," he said.

Norman has two Open Championship titles among his 90 professional victories. The first came at Turnberry in 1986, where a second-round 63 led to a five-shot triumph over Gordon Brand. The second came seven years later at Royal St. George's where Norman trailed by one stroke entering the final day and closed with 64 to defeat Nick Faldo by two. Norman has played in 26 of the last 29 Open Championships.

He will likely make his return at the TELUS Skins Game, which will be played August 7-8 at The Fairmont Banff Springs in Calgary, Alberta.
