Greg Norman and his son, Greg Jnr, tested negative for Covid during the PGA Tour when they played in the PNC Championship in Orlando along with Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas. The tournament ended on December 20 but then, heading into Christmas, Greg began to experience headaches, muscle and joint pain, high temperature and other flu-like symptoms.
Greg spent Christmas Day 2020 in a Florida hospital Emergency Room. He returned home to self-quarantine but was readmitted the following day. The tests showed he was Covid positive.
In true Aussie style, one of Greg's main complaints about the virus is that "Beer tastes bad".
He also has "Headaches that feel like a chisel going through your head scrapping little bits off each time".
This from his Instagram post:
"I am fit and strong and have a high tolerance for pain but this virus kicked the crap out of me like nothing I have ever experienced before.
"Muscle and joint pain on another level. Headaches that feel like a chisel going through your head scrapping little bits off each time, fever, muscles that just did not want to work.
"Then my taste failed where beer tastes bad and wine the same. And finally at times struggling with memory of names and things. Then there is irritation."
Norman added that we wouldn't want anyone to experience this "hideous virus."
"Please take care. And for those doubters out there, do not judge or cast unwarranted comments and opinions ... Do what is right, not just for you, but your family, friends, co-workers and other people around."
Reminder:
Greg Norman's World No. 1 Golfer status lasted for 331 weeks. (Tiger Woods eventually broke that record.)
Greg Norman has 88 international golf victories, including taking out the British Open Championships twice.
