All Australians knew countryman Greg Norman after his first professional victory in the 1976 West Lakes Classic, but it was the 1981 Masters Tournament where the "Great White Shark" was introduced to the world.

Since that event, which saw the 26-year-old lead after the first round and eventually finish fourth, Norman has amassed 91 professional victories, including two coveted British Open Championships and 20 U.S. PGA Tour titles. Norman's record, coupled with his immense contribution to the game of golf, earned him a place in the World Golf Hall of Fame. For his countless accomplishments, Norman garnered the highest percentage of votes of anyone that has been inducted into golf's most exclusive fraternity.

In addition to his remarkable on-course achievements, his successes in the boardroom have been equally impressive. As Chairman and CEO of Great White Shark Enterprises, a multinational corporation with offices in Jupiter, Florida, and Sydney, Australia, Norman has established an elite international business with interests focused around golf and the golf lifestyle.

Established in 1987, Greg Norman Golf Course Design is one of the premier signature design groups. Medallist Developments is an international developer of residential golf course communities. Greg Norman Turf Company licenses proprietary turfgrasses for golf courses, athletic fields and home lawns. Greg Norman Collection is a leading worldwide marketer and distributor of men's sportswear, golf apparel and accessories. Greg Norman Estates produces a line of highly rated wines. Greg Norman's Australian Grille in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, offers indoor and outdoor dining with authentic Australian fare. The Greg Norman Production Company operates the PGA Tour-sanctioned Shark Shootout.

It is Norman's overriding passion and desire for family, golf, business and adventure that has endeared him to golf fans around the globe. And while his welldocumented triumphs on the golf course have assured a lofty spot in golf history, it is his trademark smile and never-say-die attitude that golf fans truly admire.
