Talor Gooch, who won three LIV Golf tournaments this season, won the individual championship of the Saudi Circuit in 2023. He topped the standings with a score of 192 after the Jeddah event last week.

LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman presented Gooch with the individual championship ring in a unique style. He went onto his knees as if he was proposing to Gooch, on the stage and delivered the ring.

The LIV Golf League shared a few pictures of the award ceremony on its X (formerly Twitter account) with a caption, saying:

"Talor Gooch said yes @SharkGregNorman, delivers the Individual Champions ring in style."

However, fans were unimpressed with Greg Norman and flocked to the comments box and wrote:

"How embarrassing."
