(Reuters) - LIV Golf chief executive Greg Norman said he was no longer prepared to negotiate with the PGA Tour and rejected the Saudi-funded series as being a "breakaway" league.

In an interview with The Australian newspaper, Norman said his offers to meet with PGA officials were repeatedly declined as the U.S.-based circuit focused on reforming its own tour in an attempt to hang on to their leading players.
