Tiger Woods turned down offer around $700-800 million to play in LIV Golf, CEO Greg Norman says

Tiger Woods rejected an offer around $700-$800 million to join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series, CEO Greg Norman said. 

Fox News' Tucker Carlson asked Norman, a former No. 1-ranked golfer, about whether Woods turning down an offer in that range was true. Norman said the number came before his time as CEO, but admitted the proposal was in that ballpark. 

"Look, Tiger's a needle mover, right?" he said in interview that aired Sunday. "So, of course, you're going to look at the best of the best. They had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO, so, yes, that number is somewhere in that neighborhood."
