The Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week” (for reasons beyond my understanding) often grabs a lot of attention and interest. Well, the world of golf may soon have its own Shark weeks and, more importantly, Shark weekends.

Greg Norman has been approached to lead some of Fox Sports’ recently acquired rights to the United States Golf Association‘s array of championships.

While Fox Sports will become the United States Golf Association’s “principal domestic media partner,” covering the U.S. Open, U.S. Women’s Open and U.S. Senior Open Championships along with its national amateur championships, it is unclear how large a role Norman could play in the network’s golf coverage due to his already numerous business ventures. It seems as if the U.S. Open is the key role Norman would anchor.

The network begins broadcasting the U.S. Open in 2015, so there is time for Norman to negotiate the terms.

Norman would be another highly recognizable name that Fox could boast in its sports coverage, which will soon also feature Fox Sports 1 — a channel launching on Aug. 17 as a competitor to ESPN with a range of offerings including live sports, sports news, analysis and additional daily programming.

The network has already added former athletes such as Andy Roddick, Gary Payton and Donovan McNabb to serve as Fox Sports Live (a SportsCenter style show) analysts. Norman’s potential gig, however, would mostly likely be a grander stage, leading analysis for the network’s golf coverage that will feature major championship golf for the first time. The agreement between Fox Sports and the USGA runs through 2026.

So, how would Norman do with the job?

We know he’s not shy about his opinions, a trait shared with current U.S. Open analyst Johnny Miller. Recently, Norman has become newsworthy when he’s chiming in on an issue, such as Tiger Woods’ drop at the Masters or golf’s anti-doping procedures, both coming this spring. Other opinions voiced by Norman in the not-so-distant past include that Woods was “intimidated” by McIlroy, and criticism of Fred Couples’ President’s Cup pick of Woods in 2011.

Nonetheless, Norman is a historic name in the game of golf: former world No. 1 for 331 weeks, a 20-time PGA Tour winner, a two-time British Open champion and a 2001 World Golf Hall of Fame inductee. He’s experienced the highs and lows in major championship golf. He fired a final-round 64 to claim his second British Open title, while his heartbreaking losses at majors are well documented, including a trio of disappearing third-round leads in 1986.

While he may provide unfiltered comments on the game and its players at times, through his career he was one of those players under criticism and in the spotlight. He’s been there before and could provide a strong analysis of what players are thinking, feeling and experiencing down the stretch of a major championship weekend.

“Fox shares our vision to seek fresh thinking and innovative ideas to deliver championship golf,” USGA President Glen D. Nager stated in the USGA and Fox’s initial announcement.

As a golfer-turned-businessman, Norman could be a strong contributor to the “fresh thinking” the partnership is looking for.
