After only 15 months of marriage, Greg Norman and Chris Evert are calling it quits. The couple had been getting quite a bit of press over the past year, given that both are hall-of-famers in their sports.
However, when you look a little closer, this isn’t a huge shocker. Is it more surprising that a woman married four times couldn’t make a marriage work, or that a guy who previously stole his best friend’s wife can’t make a marriage work?
Personally, I best like the theory at Niceballz – Evert was so pissed at Norman’s President’s Cup pick of Adam Scott, that she decided to end the marriage. These faux quotes from Niceballz are hilarious:
“She said ‘how can I trust him with anything simple like going to the market and getting the right brand of bread when he f*ck’s something like a Captain’s pick up?’…she was beside herself.”
“For a few days afterwards she would walk around the house saying ‘What, Ian Baker-Finch wasn’t available? Christ, nothing like being the wife of the Blunder from Down Under’, it was brutal.”
I do really like Greg Norman as a golfer, and when I was younger he was probably my favorite golfer. I guess I’m just being hard because a 15-month is even more of a mockery than picking Adam Scott for the President’s Cup! If you can’t keep a marriage going for 15 months, then why did you even get married in the first place. Oh well…this is a golf blog, so I’ll quit giving my relationship opinions. Bottom line – divorce is a sad thing, and despite all the negativity above, hopefully they both get through this.
