The 67-year-old two-time Open champion has told News Corp that he is planning to tee it up in golf's oldest major at St Andrews in July.

"I'm filling out the entry form now," Norman was quoted saying. "I think I'm going."

Norman, who famously won the Claret Jug in 1986 and 1993 and tied-for third in 2008 having held the third-round lead at the age of 53, has not played a major since 2009 – missing the cut at The Masters and then the Open.

While he no longer qualifies for automatic entry as a past champion – one of only four Australian winners of the Open – because the guaranteed entry cuts off for past champions at the age of 60, Norman is unlikely to go through qualifying to earn his place but instead is more likely to seek a special exemption as the tournament celebrates its milestone 150th edition.

"It's the 150th, I'm a past Open champion, I love St Andrews," Norman said.

"If there's a moment in time that I would consider going back and teeing off one last time. Maybe this is it."

A popular figure with fans during his prime, who drew massive galleries, a Norman return at the home of golf would be a major storyline – with his image tarnished recently by his involvement in setting up a Saudi-backed rebel golf league that has rocked the establishment.

As the spearhead of a breakaway Tour funded by Saudi Arabia, Norman has been accused of turning a blind eye to human rights abuses but strongly refutes the claims as he attempts to get the LIV Golf Investments circuit up and running.

"We are here to play golf, serve fans, grow the game, and give additional opportunities to players," he has said.

Just last week, Norman and particularly his major championship losses were the focus of an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary. The ‘Great White Shark’ reflecting on, and watching, his disastrous 1996 final round at The Masters.

As part of the show, Norman revisited Augusta National and replayed some of the shots from the day that saw him give up a six shot lead to Englishman Nick Faldo.
