On Thursday Norman, who competed with his son at last week’s PNC Championship, also shared a video where he named some of the symptoms he had been experiencing.
‘I feel very flu-like, I have a mild fever, I have a cough, I have aches and pains, I have a mild headache,’
‘So I am in self-quarantine. Ugly place to be on Christmas Eve but I just do not want to jeopardise affecting any of my family or friends and loved ones around me,’ the 65-year-old said.
Greg Norman Jnr also confirmed that him and his wife have been isolating after they too receive positive results for Covid-19.
