The Golfer, by Peter Howson, a framed charcoal drawing with watercolour highlights, signed and dated ‘06. Arguably depicting Australian golfer Greg Norman the most successful athlete-turned-businessman in the world. This internationally recognised “Great White Shark” won more than 90 tournaments worldwide, including two British Open Championships. 
 
Currently he is involved in a great deal of controversy because he is recruiting some of the world’s best golfers for the Saudi- backed breakaway LV Tour (it’s called LV because tournaments are played over 54 holes and LV is 54 in Roman numerals.)
