The CEO for the Saudi rebel tour confirmed an approach for the 15-time major winner.

“[Corporate sponsors dropping players who have defected to LIV Golf] blows my mind. They’re not going to shut us down because the product speaks for itself. “I disagree with it. I believe it’s the right thing. “The R&A obviously have their opinions and their rulings and their decision,” Woods said. “So they had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO. So, yes, that number was somewhere in that neighborhood.”

American professional golfer, Tiger Woods turned down a $700-800 million offer to join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series.

They had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO. That number is somewhere in that ($700-800 million) neighbourhood.” Norman said “That number was out there before I became CEO. So that number has been out there, yes. Before the British Open last month, Woods stated that he disapproved of players’ decisions to compete in the LIV Series and likened the circuit, which offers massive guaranteed contracts and a 54-hole format, to the senior Champions Tour.

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.

"But what these players are doing for guaranteed money, what is the incentive to practice? What is the incentive to go out there and earn it in the dirt? But that is a possibility, that some players will never, ever get a chance to play in a major championship, never get a chance to experience this right here, walk down the fairways at Augusta National. "Some of these players may not ever get a chance to play in major championships. Previously, Norman had told the Washington Post in June that Woods was offered huge money to participate but turned it down. They had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO, so, yes, that number is somewhere in that neighborhood."

CEO of LIV Golf Greg Norman claims Tiger Woods was offered $700-800 million to join the sport's new series.

Tiger Woods turned down an offer of about $700-800 million to take part in the Saudi-funded LIV Golf series, the rebel circuit's chief Greg Norman said.

Tiger Woods turned down an offer of about $700-800 million to take part in the Saudi-funded LIV Golf series, the rebel circuit's chief Greg Norman said.

We don't know that for sure yet." "I disagree with it," Woods said ahead of the British Open in St Andrews last month when asked about his fellow professionals who have been tempted to join the hugely lucrative but deeply controversial circuit. The 46-year-old Woods has consistently declared his loyalty to the PGA Tour and said he has no intention of following the likes of other major winners, such as Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Sergio Garcia and Dustin Johnson in jumping ship to the upstart LIV.

How much money did he turn down? LIV CEO/commissioner Greg Norman went on the dreadful Tucker Carlson show last night and said it was somewhere in the $700-800 ...

I know Greg tried to do this back in the early ’90s. It didn’t work then, and he’s trying to make it work now. If he took that money then the PGA Tour could have closed up shop because everyone else would be making the jump, too. That’s a lot of money to turn down but Tiger did just that. “I believe it’s the right thing. They had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO. That number is somewhere in that neighborhood.” “That number was out there before I became CEO,” Norman told Carlson. “Look, Tiger is a needle mover, right?

Bashaud Breeland came to Clemson football as an unheralded 3 star recruit from Allandale, South Carolina, but played his way into the NFL.

He won a championship with Kansas City in Super Bowl LIV. He spent the past season with Minnesota and Arizona. He started at least five games every season he played for the Tigers and would have played more than five in 2012 if it wasn’t for injuries. He was an All-State and All-Region player in football, and he won two state titles in track.

During an interview with Tucker Carlson, Greg Norman, the CEO of LIV, confirmed the league's offer to Tiger Woods was $700-$800 million.

I know Greg tried to do this back in the early ’90s. It didn’t work then, and he’s trying to make it work now. So they had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO. So, yes, that number is somewhere in that neighborhood.” “That number was out there before I became CEO. So that number has been out there, yes,” Norman responded when asked about the proposed figure.

Tiger Woods turned down LIV Golf's nine-figure offer but it would have been historic had the golfer accepted it.

“I know what the PGA Tour stands for and what we have done and what the Tour has given us," he later added. Like James and Jordan, most of Woods' earnings have come via his off-the-field deals and endorsements. In fact, the LIV Golf money wouldn't have just dwarfed Woods' career earnings either. Even despite the monumental nature of LIV Golf's offer, Woods wasn't tempted by it. Had Woods accepted that offer from LIV Golf, it would have been historic. They had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO. That number is somewhere in that neighborhood.

CEO Greg Norman chides PGA Tour as 'monopoly' some of whose sponsors have Saudi clients.

Speaking at the Open Championship in Scotland in July, Woods said, “The players who have chosen to go to LIV and to play there, I disagree with it. They’re playing blaring music and have all these atmospheres that are different ... I just don’t see how that move is positive in the long term for a lot of these players, especially if the LIV organisation doesn’t get world-ranking points and the Major championships change their criteria for entering the events.” They’re not going to shut us down because the product speaks for itself.” “I believe it’s the right thing [to exclude him].” LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson that Woods declined an offer of between $700m and $800m to join the new Saudi-backed tour.

Tiger Woods turned down figures of around 700m to 800m dollars from the new LIV Golf league that is being founded by the Saudi Arabian government.

It's a multibillion-dollar industry." "Yes, that number was somewhere in that neighbourhood," Norman said, referring to the figures of 700m to 800m dollars. In an interview broadcast on Monday by Fox and recorded last Sunday during the event in Bedminster, New Jersey, the CEO of the organisation, Greg Norman, admitted that LIV Golf did make such an offer to Tiger Woods as they consider him a player who transcends the sport.

The new event is set for October 8-10 and will feature 60 boy and girl junior golfers competing at the Links at Spanish Bay and the The Hay.

“I am excited to welcome a diverse field of young golfers to the TGR JR Invitational presented by TaylorMade,” Woods said in a press release. A 27-hole qualifying round will take place on The Hay on the first day of competition followed by championship and consolation matches on The Links at Spanish Bay on Day 2. The new event is set for October 8-10 and will feature 60 boy and girl junior golfers competing at the Links at Spanish Bay and the The Hay, the short course recently redesigned by Tiger’s TGR Design.

TGR Live is partnering with Pebble Beach Company and TaylorMade to host the TGR JR Invitational presented by TaylorMade, Oct. 8-10, 2022.

Woods' offer is roughly four times more than what Phil Mickelson signed with LIV Golf.

Woods is an avowed critic of LIV Golf, saying last month he believes golfers who joined the tour “turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position,” ripping into LIV Golf’s 54-hole, no-cut format. Mickelson’s $138 million in earnings last year easily led all golfers, buoyed largely by his massive up-front payment from the tour. Norman told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson that LIV Golf offered Woods “somewhere in the neighborhood” of between $700 million and $800 million, explaining “Tiger is a needle mover.”

The new event will debut in October and include qualifying rounds at The Hay, a TGR Design short course.

With as few as 400 remaining in the wild, the Sumatran tiger is one of the rarest big cats on the planet.

The Sumatran tiger is listed as critically endangered by the Internal Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) with just 400 estimated to remain. “Without conservation efforts like these, the future for the Sumatran tiger may soon look similar to that of Javan, Caspian and Balinese tigers, which heartbreakingly are all now extinct. Their prospect of survival is hanging by a thread and the endangered species breeding programme, run by Europe’s leading conservation zoos, is a vitally important part of the international effort to ensure these magnificent animals are here for generations to come.

Dash, identified as a genetically compatible mate for the zoo's resident female Kasarna, has arrived as part of a special breeding programme.

Tiger Woods has announced the introduction of a new, and sure to be very popular, junior golf tournament to be held at The Hay at Pebble Beach and The Links ...

Tiger Woods announced Tuesday that he's joined with Pebble Beach and TaylorMade to create a new junior event, the TGR JR Invitational presented by ...

Woods’ built on Hay’s concept in 2021 and redesigned the course, which has an exact replica of Pebble Beach’s famed par-3 seventh hole. The field will consist of 60 boys and 60 girls made up from diverse backgrounds. “Hosting this event at The Hay at Pebble Beach is a perfect venue to showcase a fun and competitive atmosphere for a talented group of young golfers,” Woods said.

The 15-time Major winner reportedly turned down the figure offered by LIV Golf - here's what it could have bought him.

Alas, the Italian team would have been a long way out of reach of Woods’ budget, at $1.35bn, but if reported estimated values are correct, he could have still stumped up the money for the third most expensive team, McLaren, with plenty of cash to spare. In fact, he could have had several, with a current asking price of “just” $160m for Rangyai Island in Thailand. Closer to home, Pumpkin Key off the coast of Wood’s Florida home could have been his for a mere $95m. Woods may have rejected the offer from LIV Golf to spearhead its inaugural season, but had he taken it, he’d have had more than enough to buy another asset of the Public Investment Fund that backs it. A private island would have been the perfect way to spend some of his LIV Golf Invitational Series cash. Not only that, but at “just” $450m, the 46-year-old would still have had plenty of change left over for a few other luxuries. With the change from the purchase Woods would even have enough left over for...

Then again, if AR takes off as a marketing vehicle, it isn’t too much of a stretch to suggest a ball-fitting in the near future might not be some dry web interface or even a couple of trial ball packs and a trip to the short-game area, but rather a direct interaction with an AR Tiger Woods, who ends up telling you something you didn’t know (but only he could) about the ball he thinks you should play. Those include the gamification of Pokémon Go that was a bit of a craze a few years ago, but it’s also been used by 19 Crimes wine to make the “criminals” on its wine bottles come to life. “I’m holding the same golf ball you could be playing,” the AR Woods says, which also includes segments where he talks about the company's new core technology on the Tour B balls.

Among the intentions attributed to LIV Golf, there is the project to have women and men play the same day on the same course in different competitions. “That amount existed before I became CEO of LIV Golf Investments,” Norman said on Tucker Carlson Tonight, a talk show known for its ultra-conservative stances. I don't care," Norman said.

Woods has been critical of golfers leaving the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf.

I can’t really comment on that because I don’t know exactly what they’re saying, and what they’re saying who did what.” After the 9/11 families reached out to Trump, the former president said “I don’t know much about the 9/11 families. Phil Mickelson was reportedly offered $200 million just to play in the league, and Dustin Johnson was reportedly offered $150 million to play. They had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO. That number is somewhere in that neighborhood.” In addition to Woods, other golfers were offered large amounts of money to join the league. “That number was out there before I became CEO,” Norman told Carlson at this past weekend’s LIV Golf tournament at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey. “Look, Tiger is a needle mover, right?
