Fort Lauderdale: LIV Golf leader Greg Norman and his wife are being sued by a high school girl who says she was sexually assaulted at their Florida home by two boys during a party where alcohol was served to her, her alleged attackers and other minors.
The lawsuit alleges that Norman, 68, and his wife, interior designer Kirsten Kutner, served alcohol to minors during a pool party her teenage daughter hosted for her Oxbridge Academy classmates and other teens at their Palm Beach Gardens mansion in September 2021.

The girl and her parents allege that Kutner served her daughter and the girl drinks before other guests arrived.
More alcohol was served throughout the party, the lawsuit alleges, and the girl became “incapable of standing on her own and was seen stumbling around the party”.
The girl alleges that two boys, who also had been drinking at the party, then sexually assaulted her on the grass next to the pool.
The lawsuit, which was filed in March, alleges that Norman and Kutner failed to ensure the girl’s safety, well-being and sobriety at their home by illegally providing alcohol to her and the other teens.
The lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages for pain, suffering, mental anguish and loss of enjoyment.
Norman leads the controversial, Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour, which announced last week that it would merge with the PGA and European tours.
