Tiger Woods turned down an offer worth approximately $700-$800 million to join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series, according to the tour's CEO Greg Norman
During an interview on Fox News that aired on Monday, former world No. 1 Norman was asked by Tucker Carlson if it was true that Woods was offered $700-$800 million to join the LIV Golf series."That number was out there before I became CEO," Norman replied."So, that number's been out there, yes. Look, Tiger's a needle mover, right?"So, of course, you're going to look at the best of the best.
"I think that what they've done is they've turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position," the 15-time major winner said."Some of these players may not ever get a chance to play in major championships. That is a possibility. We don't know that for sure yet. It's up to all the major championship bodies to make that determination.
