Tiger Woods reportedly rejected at least $700M from LIV Golf

Tiger Woods’s recent comments on LIV Golf and commissioner Greg Norman made it clear he had virtually no interest in competing on the controversial tour.

Last month, the legendary golfer told reporters he felt Norman has “done some things that I don’t think are in the best interest of our game’’ while passionately expressing his disappointment in those who opted to play in the LIV Golf Invitational Series. The remarks all but confirmed his unwavering indifference to LIV Golf after Norman told The Washington Post in June Woods, 46, turned down a “mind-blowingly enormous” offer in the “high nine digits.”

While he declined to discuss the specifics of the offer at the time, Norman reportedly offered some insight into the proposed deal in a recent interview with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson. According to Sam Stein of Politico, Norman revealed LIV Golf offered to pay Woods a sum in the range of $700 to $800 million to join the tour.
