Greg Norman has long been leading the charge for the Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf Investments and its new series of events slated to begin in June outside London, but the two-time Open champion wasn’t the only person who was made an offer.
According to a Fire Pit Collective story published on Monday morning, 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus turned down not just one, but two offers to lead the new golf entity that has caused a stir in professional golf over the last year.
“I was offered something in excess of $100 million by the Saudis, to do the job probably similar to the one that Greg (Norman) is doing,” said Nicklaus. “I turned it down. Once verbally, once in writing. I said, ‘Guys, I have to stay with the PGA Tour. I helped start the PGA Tour.’”
