GREG NORMAN has announced his return to competitive golf in an incredibly cheesy video alongside his son.

The double Open champion and perennial Major runner-up merchant has not played for five years.

Norman, a Hall of Fame golfer known for bringing courses to their knees with his driving off the tee, almost lost his left hand in a chainsaw accident in 2014.

But the Great White Shark recovered from that horror incident and now plans to join son Greg Jr in a shootout.

Norman, 62, will team up with his lad at the PNC Father/Son Challenge from December 13-17.

The event, which will see former Major champs and winners of the prestigious Players championship tee it up, takes place at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida.

Norman is adamant this will be a one-time return and not a permanent step back on the links.

The former world No 1 has played in several pro-am tournaments since leaving professional golf in 2012.

Norman, who will always be remembered for squandering a six-shot lead to Nick Faldo in the 1996 Masters, is more often seen trekking through mountains than on the course these days.

However he also uploaded another video recently showing him working on his wedge game.

And in the video with Greg Jr, Norman says that playing again in front of a crowd is “not a bloody bad idea”.
