PAARL, South Africa (Reuters) - Former tennis champion Chris Evert and ex-golf number one Greg Norman announced their engagement on Friday, during the South African Open golf tournament in the South-Western Cape.

Evert and Norman have both divorced their spouses in the last year -- Australian Norman agreeing a reported $100-million settlement with Laura in September and Evert splitting from Andy Mill, her second husband, last December.

Evert, the winner of 18 grand slam singles titles, confirmed the engagement at a news conference to announce she would be building a tennis centre at the Pearl Valley Golf Estates, where the South African Open golf is being held.

Asked whether there were any marriage plans between her and Norman, the American, sporting a large diamond on her left ring finger, replied: "Well, it is an engagement ring. We were engaged on Sunday night coming over here, en route to South Africa. We don't know when and where we'll be married though."

Evert, 53, jokingly asked Norman: "Why don't you say something to them (the media)? Gee, you're a big chicken!"

The 52-year-old Norman, a former world number one, is lying seventh equal in the South African Open on the second day of the tournament.

The most shocking thing about this is Chrissie is older than Norman!

I've read that she broke up Norman's marriage, although I haven't heard her side of the story...

Good luck to them. 2 athletes I've always liked.

Was checking out Chrissie's career record, and from Wimbledon in 78 to Wimbledon in 85 she made the finals of 22 of the 26 grand slam events she entered (she didn't always play in the Australian). Easy to forget how dominant a player she was.

Be sure to check out the section on his personal life.

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22378485-661,00.html

WHILE Greg Norman was set to celebrate his $600 million divorce with a beer, soon-to-be ex-wife Laura was weeping over the end of their 25-year marriage.

After a Florida court hearing to finalise their nine-figure settlement this afternoon, the Great White Shark promptly jumped on his personal jet to join girlfriend Chris Evert at the US Open and begin the next chapter of his life.

When you have holdings worth $600 million, why is part of it "a retirement fund"? Is he or she going to be short of cash once they stop "working"?

I'm sure Chrissie already has jumped The Shark many times.

She also probably has had more guys than she has Grand Slam titles.

Wikipedia:

In the years that followed, Evert was romantically linked with several other high-profile men. She reportedly had affairs with, among others, actor Burt Reynolds, Geraldo Rivera, Adam Faith, Vitas Gerulaitis, Pat Boone, and John Gardner “Jack” Ford, son of U.S. President Gerald Ford.

This was between Jimmy Connors and Andy Mill.

Yes, that Geraldo Rivera.

Actually, Cran, I think that's before and after John Lloyd and before Andy Mill.
Jimmy came before she married Lloyd. And might have been a few others before Jimmy.

So, now she's been married to a tennis player, a skier and soon, a golfer.

What sport will be next? I'm thinking auto racing.
