[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…'White Shark' Greg Norman (Australia) has contracted the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

AFP reported on the 26th (Korean time) that "Norman tested positive for COVID-19 and is receiving treatment in a hospital." Norman himself posted a photo wearing a mask in the hospital room on social media (SNS) to announce the confirmed diagnosis. Although he recently tested negative for COVID-19, his symptoms worsened, and he had been self-isolating at his home in Florida, USA. He wrote, "I am experiencing symptoms such as mild fever, cough, body aches, and headache," and added, "I never want to go through this experience again."

Norman turned professional in 1976 and is a player who held the world No. 1 ranking for 331 weeks, including two wins at The Open Championship, the "oldest major." During his active career, he was called "The great white shark." He achieved 20 wins on the PGA Tour, 14 wins on the European Tour, and a total of 88 professional wins. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2011 and, after retirement, has devoted himself to clothing and interior design, real estate, private equity, and golf course design.
