Land Rover’s ad will highlights Norman’s two and a half-year relationship with Land Rover North America.

According to Finbar McFall, Vice President of Marketing, Land Rover North America, “This segment showcases the image that binds Greg Norman and Land Rover. With a play on words, the campaign reiterates that performance, luxury, technology, comfort, and drive are top priorities for both brands.”

Norman being one of the world’s top athletes and entrepreneurs greatly relies on performance not only in his game and work but more so for his everyday life. His success depends greatly on go-anywhere transportation whether it’s by air or by land. His Gulfstream G550 jet, Bell 407 Helicopter, and Range Rover Supercharged provides the golfer with the luxury, performance, and capability that he needs to conquer unfamiliar territories.
