The civil war between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf is causing havoc within the game and causing friendships to break down.
The PGA Tour has suspended players who have defected to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf, with the matter set to head to the courts.
Detractors of LIV Golf have pointed to Saudi Arabia's plethora of human rights issues as a reason to boycott the league
Scott, the 2013 Masters winner, is staying on the PGA Tour in a bid to win more major titles.
But the 42-year-old Australian doesn't want the two organisations to tear each other down.
"I haven't really seen much friction face to face by guys (but) there's definitely been some feelings hurt and some friendships strained," Scott said in a teleconference on Friday.
"I'm not trying to play a peacemaker. Maybe because I'm a little less emotive about it, I can be a voice of reason for one side or the other.
"I don't necessarily see LIV as pure evil for the game of golf. It's also providing some interesting opportunities from the PGA Tour side as well.
"Hopefully we can get beyond everyone having shots at each other, and each organisation can move on."
Australian great Norman has taken criticism for his decision to become the face of LIV Golf as CEO.
But Scott insists he isn't among the people who feels animosity towards Norman.
"Definitely not," he said.
"This is something he truly believes in and I don't begrudge him for going for it one bit at all.
"Sure, it's rocked the orders of golf, which has never really happened in this way before.
"But I'm optimistic that people's (intentions) are still good, and therefore we will come to a better place ultimately going forward."
Scott said his friendships with fellow Australian stars Cameron Smith and Marc Leishman also haven't changed since their defection to LIV.
"I completely understand anyone doing it. They've been offered an opportunity and it suits them. All power to them," Scott said.
"I really want it to work out for them."
Scott announced on Friday that he will be returning to Australia for the first time since 2019 to compete in November's Australian PGA Championship at Royal Queensland and December's Australian Open in Victoria.
Smith and Leishman have also confirmed they will be returning home to compete.
Scott, the world No.30, hopes his return to Australia will help set the platform for a successful 2023 and a tilt at another major.
"The one thing that is happening is my time is running out," Scott said.
"It seems I'm the oldest bloke in the field almost every week these days. While I'm playing good, I've got to take advantage."
