CHRIS EVERT TO WED GOLFER NORMAN!
Norman and Evert have both been through divorces in the past year. Former world tennis number one Chris Evert has announced her engagement to Australian golfer Greg Norman.
The American tennis star made the announcement in South Africa, where her fiance is competing in the Open.
Both have been divorced in the past year, with Evert ending 18 years of marriage to skier Andy Mill. She was previously married to John Lloyd.
Norman reached a multi-million dollar divorce settlement with Laura Andrassy, his wife of 26 years, in September.
The US tennis star was in South Africa to open a Chris Evert tennis centre at Pearl Valley, the venue for this year's South African Open golf championship.
Evert watched her fiance in action in the South African Open.
Asked about a diamond ring she was wearing, Evert said: "This is an engagement ring and we were engaged four days ago.
"It was Sunday night while we were coming over here."
No date has yet been announced for the wedding.
Chris Evert, 52, won 18 Grand Slam singles titles during her career, at least one every year from 1974 to 1986.
She was engaged to US tennis star Jimmy Connors - both won singles titles at Wimbledon in 1974 - but they never married, and she later wed British tennis player John Lloyd.
She has three sons from her marriage to Andy Mill.
Norman, also 52, has two children, and won the British Open in 1986 and 1993.
