65-year-old Golf Hall of Famer Greg Norman shared photos on social media Friday suggesting he has been hospitalized with COVID-19. Norman played alongside his son Greg Jr. in last week’s PNC Championship in Florida alongside Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas.
On Thursday night, Norman posted a video on Instagram saying he was experiencing coronavirus symptoms, then posted photos Friday showing himself in a hospital bed.
“This sums it all up,” he wrote. “My Christmas Day.”
Norman’s son, Greg Norman Jr., also took to social media revealing that he and his wife, Michelle, have also tested positive.
On Thursday, the elder Norman said that he had flu-like symptoms, including a mild fever, a cough, aches and pains, and a mild headache. He said he took a virus test Tuesday that came back negative, but he was in self-quarantine anyway.
He was apparently admitted to a hospital Friday, sharing a photo of himself in a hospital bed and another of a medical professional in head-to-toe personal protective equipment.
“It’s been an ugly one,” Norman said Thursday. “I for one am looking forward to getting out of this quarantine and looking forward to building whatever the great future is for 2021 and beyond.”
Know as “The Shark,” in the 1980s and 1990s, Norman spent 331 weeks as the world’s Number 1 Official World Golf Rankings ranked golfer.
