Greg Norman’s ex-wife: You stiffed me!

Not only is he dealing with his separation from new wife Chris Evert , the Boca Raton-based former tennis star, but now he’s got a ticked off ex-wife to deal with. Palm Beacher Laura Andrassy says the Great White Shark stiffed her in his yearly payment of their divorce settlement . She contends in new paperwork filed in the Martin County courthouse in Stuart that his $2 million wire transfer to her June 15 was about $72,000 short. She asked a judge to force Norman to pay up, or order arbitration. According to their contract, the ex-missus, a former flight attendant, will be $103 million richer by 2023 as a result of the agreement they signed when they were divorced two years ago. So, what’s $72,000? “It’s a substantial sum of money,” said Andrassy’s lawyer in West Palm Beach, Jack Scarola . “I have no desire to annoy Mr. Norman. But he has an obligation to meet his contractual commitments. If someone owes $72,000, just pay up.” Andrassy, leaving a divorce hearing with lawyer Jack Scarola in 2007 (The Palm Beach

Post archives) Norman’s divorce attorney, Jeff Fisher , declined comment. But in his response filed in court, Fisher wrote that Norman and his ex promised they’d seek arbitration for disputes instead of the court system. Andrassy’s recent motion to enforce is nothing more than a “method to feed information (usually of a disparaging nature) about the former husband to the media.” The $72,000 alleged shortfall, according to court papers, comes from the calculation of Andrassy’s share in Norman’s Colorado ranch, Seven Lakes Lodge. She’s supposed to get close to $780,000 a year for the ranch, but got much less. Incidentally, Norman recently put the property on the market for $55 million. The motion reopens the saga of golfer/vintner’s divorce, which was filed in June 2006 after Andrassy accused him of cheating on her with tennis champ Evert. Although Norman and Andrassy were officially divorced when he married Evert in June 2008, they’ve been ironing some of their differences since.
