Sports legends Greg Norman and Chris Evert are so determined to keep their Bahamas wedding private today, they have moved the venue to a more secluded spot.

Australian golfer Norman and American tennis star Evert, both 53, were expected to tie the knot at a sunset ceremony on a private beach on Paradise Island.

But the couple, who are reported to have sold the wedding rights, have switched to a nearby fenced off area, to avoid media attention.

A host of celebrities are expected to attend the lavish wedding, including former US presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush Sr., singer Gwen Stefani and her husband Gavin Rossdale, Kenny Loggins and comedian Chevy Chase.

Other famous faces who have been invited include tennis players Lleyton Hewitt, Anna Kournikova, Lindsay Davenport, Martina Navratilova and Ms Evert's former fiancé Jimmy Connors.

Both Norman, whose nickname is The Great White Shark, and Evert have been married before.

She has two ex-husbands, while the acrimonious disintegration of Norman's marriage to his first wife Laura Andrassy made the headlines in 2006.

Following a year-long legal battle, during which Norman reportedly cancelled Andrassy's credit cards and changed the locks to their £18million Florida mansion, he agreed to a divorce settlement of £50million.

Ms Andrassy recently refused to send her best wishes to Norman and Evert.

She said: 'I have no wishes for them except to say they deserve each other.'

Norman has two adult children, while Evert has three sons.
