The Australian is fronting the $255 million competition, a
breakaway circuit funded by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth
fund, which will feature eight events and kick off at Centurion
Club near London on June 9.
Khashoggi was killed after entering the Saudi consulate in
Istanbul in October 2018, with a U.S. report last year saying
that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had approved the operation
to kill or capture the Washington Post journalist.
The Saudi government has denied any involvement by the crown
prince and dismissed the report's findings.
"Everybody has owned up to it, right? It has been spoken about,
from what I've read, going on what you guys reported," Norman
told reporters on Wednesday.
"Take ownership, no matter what it is. Look, we've all made
mistakes and you just want to learn from those mistakes and how
you can correct them going forward."
Turkish officials said they believe Khashoggi, a prominent
critic of the Saudi crown prince, was killed and his body
dismembered in an operation which Turkish President Tayyip
Erdogan said had been ordered at the "highest levels" of the
Saudi government.
"This whole thing about Saudi Arabia and Khashoggi and human
rights, talk about it, but also talk about the good the country
is doing to change its culture," added Norman, who this month
revealed that the event had secured extra funding worth $2
billion.
