Norman's support for International team gets 'LOL' from Immelman
LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman wished the International team luck at this year's Presidents Cup on Thursday via Twitter, but captain Trevor Immelman didn't seem impressed.

Many PGA TOUR players have joined the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league in the past year. These golfers have been suspended from the TOUR - and by extension the Presidents Cup - for joining Norman's league.
The International team was hit hard, as players like Cameron Smith, Abraham Ancer, and Joaquin Niemann would've been key contributors for Immelman's group had they not left for LIV.
The International team's lack of star power at this year's Presidents Cup was evident during Thursday's opening foursomes session, in which they lost four of five matches to the Americans.
They entered Friday's session down 4-1 but will have a chance to even the score during the day's five four-ball matches.
