ST. ANDREWS, Scotland -- The R&A announced Saturday that it hasn't invited two-time Open Championship winner and LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman to the event's 150th anniversary celebration at St. Andrews next week.

Those celebratory events include the Champions Dinner and the R&A Celebration of Champions competition.

Norman, who won The Open at Turnberry in 1986 and at Royal St. George's in 1993, is one of 14 multiple winners during the post-war era since 1945.

"We can confirm that we contacted Greg Norman to advise him that we decided not to invite him to attend on this occasion," the R&A said in a statement. "The 150th Open is an extremely important milestone for golf and we want to ensure that the focus remains on celebrating the Championship and its heritage. Unfortunately, we do not believe that would be the case if Greg were to attend."
