Golf legend Greg Norman, who has come under fire over his Saudi-funded golf league set to rival the PGA Tour, seemingly brushed off the murder of Jamal Khashoggi at a press conference Wednesday.

Khashoggi was a columnist for the Washington Post and was gruesomely murdered in 2018 in Turkey. It was later determined Khashoggi was killed by Saudi agents in Istanbul.

Norman, at a press conference for LIV Golf about a month before the first event set to take place at the Centurion Golf Club in London, was asked about his thoughts on Saudi Arabia’s involvement in Khashoggi’s murder.

"From what I heard and what you guys reported just take ownership of what it is. Take ownership no matter what it is. Look, we've all made mistakes, and you just want to learn from those mistakes and how you can correct them going forward," he said, via Golf Digest.

He would later sidestep additional questions about Saudi Arabia’s human rights issues, saying he was going to "stay focused on golf" and not look "into the politics of things."
