"At the conclusion of LIV’s successful inaugural season, Atul Khosla decided to move on," Norman said. "We respect A.K. and his personal decision."
Norman may be the primary voice and face of LIV, but it was believed Khosla was leading the tour's legitimacy in the sports world.
Khosla is the second executive to leave LIV despite the tour being so young. Before LIV's first event in June, Sean Bratches resigned at the tour's chief commercial officer.
