The former world no.1 golfer-turned-sports administrator, who turns 70 next week, was personally appointed to the new post by Australian Prime Minister Antony Albanese. He is the latest addition to the 24-person board.
“I wish I could wind the clock back four decades and compete in 2032, but as a proud Queenslander it is a privilege to be able to help shape the Brisbane Games,” Norman said. “We will prove our credentials as world leaders in events, sport and hospitality at Brisbane 2032, and create an incredible legacy for this state.”
The golf tournament for the 2032 Olympic Games is to be held at Royal Queensland Golf Club in Brisbane, where Norman once worked in the pro shop for a time in his youth.
