Tiger 'rejected $700-800m offer'

China Daily  

File photo of Tiger Woods. 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. Speaking in an interview on Fox News, LIV chief-executive Norman was asked if it was true that the American golf legend was offered"700, 800, a billion dollars" to join the breakaway circuit. "That number was out there before I became CEO so that number's been out there, yes," Norman, a former world No 1 who is the public face of LIV Golf, said in the interview at Trump National in Bedminster, New Jersey, where the third LIV Golf Invitational was held last weekend. "I disagree with it," Woods said ahead of the British Open at St. Andrews last month when asked about his fellow professionals who have joined the hugely lucrative circuit.
