The 15-times major champion has stayed committed to the PGA Tour.

They had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO. That number is somewhere in that ($700-800 million) neighbourhood.” “Look, Tiger is a needle mover, right? Tiger Woods turned down a sum in the region of $700-800 million (€680-780m) to join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series, the breakaway circuit’s chief executive Greg Norman told Fox News.

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."

Tiger Woods has rejected a huge offer to join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour, saying he "disagrees" with those who opt to join the new tour.

"I believe it's the right thing (to exclude him)." Speaking at the Open Championship in Scotland last month, Woods said, "The players who have chosen to go to LIV and to play there, I disagree with it. "They just want to shut us down whatever way they can, so they'll use whatever leverage point they can to shut us down, and they're not. ... I just don't see how that move is positive in the long term for a lot of these players, especially if the LIV organization doesn't get world-ranking points and the major championships change their criteria for entering the events." Woods has maintained his allegiance to the PGA Tour over the new circuit. They had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO. That number is somewhere in that neighbourhood."

Greg Norman has shed more light on the ballpark figure Tiger Woods turned down to take part in the LIV Golf...

The 48-man fields, which play 54 holes with no cut, offer $36 million in prize money at each event. “I just love the game so much and I want to grow the game of golf and we at LIV see that opportunity not just for the men but for the women.” During an appearance on Fox News with Tucker Carlson that aired Tuesday morning (AEST), Norman confirmed what he told the Washington Post in a story two months ago.

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.

Golf icon Tiger Woods turned down at least $700 million from the Saudi-funded LIV Golf series, which had sought his "needle-mover" name, the head of that ...

He's not putting himself out in front of LIV. He's embraced it. They just want to shut us down whatever way they can," Norman said, referring to the PGA. "So they’ll use whatever leverage point they can to shut us down, and they’re not. He finished in the top 10 at 30 majors.

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.”

Maybe he wants to be a Ryder Cup captain. Maybe he wants to protect his legacy with a limited schedule since his body can't play that much. Yes, you read that correctly, the league offered him nearly $1 billion and he said 'no.'

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...
