Greg Norman and Chris Evert: Married!

Greg Norman's golf career was marked as much by major championship heartbreak as it was by prolific top-five finishes and earnings.

Yesterday should go a long way towards healing that broken heart.

It's no green jacket, but Norman and Chris Evert, a 53-year-old tennis legend, were married Saturday in a sunset ceremony in the Bahamas.

On the same day that Ruben Studdard married Surata Zuri McCants, the athletic pair, both 53, exchanged vows in front of 140 family and friends, including Today host Matt Lauer and singer-songwriter Corey Hart.

Greg Norman, Chris Evert

Chris Evert and Greg Norman wed on Saturday in the Bahamas.

Evert's youngest son Colton, 12, served as ring bearer, and sons Nick, 14, and Alex, 16, walked her down the aisle. Also present were Greg Norman's daughter Morgan, 23, and son Gregory Jr., 21, who served as best man.

The wedding weekend kicked off on Friday with, natch, a golf and tennis tournament for guests. Wines from Greg Norman Estates (not half bad) were served at both the Friday rehearsal dinner and Saturday's reception.

Chris Evert and Greg Norman got engaged December 9 while traveling in South Africa. This is the second marriage for both

    I think this is Chris Evert's third marriage.

  2. Kara Says:

    Chris Evert was married twice prior to this. John Lloyd and Andy Mill.

  3. Becky Says:

    Yes, it is Chris Every's third marriage. She was married to John Lloyd (British tennis star) from 1979-1987 and then married Andy Mill (American downhill skier and bronze medalist) 1988-2006. And now Greg Norman June 28, 2008-?. Hopefully this will be her last and a happy one. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Evert for a good summary of her life.

    Seems like Ms. Evert doesn't know how to be Alone for awhile, perhaps to fill herself up before turning to another.

  5. Diane Says:

    I feel for Norman's ex, Laura. She is still bitter. It WAS a betrayal to both exes.

  6. Bob Says:

    They both dumped their current spouse for something new. Any bets on how long before history repeats itself?

  7. Marie Williams Says:

    Chris seems to run on a ten year cycle, so Greg, enjoy the ten years. What a shame for two people to hurt so many innocent people. She has become the slut and home wrecker, not the tennis darling she once was. What a shame celebrity types have no substance, we thought you were different Chris.

    I was just at the US Senior Open where I stood next to Chris Evert when Greg Norman walked over to her from the fairway to check on her and held her hand sweetly. Some may think leaving bad marriages for the ones they love is a bad thing.....that doesn't make sense. I am inspired by their love at this stage in their life and only hope I am as lucky one day. I am 58 and not giving up.
