    Tiger Woods Turned Down 700-800 Million from LIV

    Tiger Woods could have been nearly $1 BILLION richer if he had joined LIV Golf this year ... so says Greg Norman, who confirmed the new, Saudi-backed league offered the legend around $700-$800 million to defect from the PGA Tour.


    Norman, who's LIV Golf's CEO, revealed the details of the staggering offer during an interview with Tucker Carlson that aired on Monday night -- saying the huge proposal came from the league even before he had officially taken the executive role with the org.


    "That number was out there before I became CEO," Norman said. "So, that number's been out there, yes. And, look, Tiger's a needle mover, right?"


    "So," he added, "yes, that number is somewhere in that neighborhood."

    Guess his net worth being $1 billion made his decision easy

    This was after injury. They'd give it to him right now. They could care less if he's injured. It's just a name.

    This league was based on big money, however it looks as though the product is lacking quality and ultimately will fail.

    People (libbies) losing their minds about pro golfers head to LIV while their hero Brandon begs for oil from the Saudis. The world is upside down thanks to Brandon and his brain dead supporters.

    Tiger probably thinks he would have lost a lot of goodwill from his fans and sponsors if he bolted for the LIV. He doesn't need the money, so why purposely turn people off.

    Not one of the fans or sponsors would have turned down that money. Goodwill. LOL

    I don't know what sponsors Tiger has left??? But if there were clauses in that LIV contract... that he couldn't live up to the 700-800 million... he'd forfeit the sponsors he has now. He's probably set for life right now... and why rock the ship???

    That offer of 700-800 million is way to good to be true. Tiger would of jumped all over that.
