Tiger Woods is moving the needle in the right direction. I would like to take it one step further and say that Tiger Woods is the needle in the haystack.
Woods is one of the most watched athletes in any sport when he's in a tournament, when he's in contention.
The rumor that Greg Norman was being offered at least 10 figures to join the LIV Golf Series, a Greg Norman-led, Saudi Arabia-backed breakaway circuit, was believable.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson Tonight, Norman confirmed the rumors, saying Woods received an offer between $700 million and $801 million.
Before I became CEO, that number was out there. It has been out there, yes," Norman replied when asked about the proposed figure. Tiger is a needle-mover, isn't he?
Obviously, you'll look at the best of the best. Before I became CEO, they had approached Tiger. Yes, that number is somewhere in that area
I know what the PGA Tour represents and what we have done, the trophies we have been able to compete for, and the history that has been part of this sport.
Greg tried to do this in the early 1990s. Previously, it didn't work, and now he's trying to make it work.
During the interview with Carlson, Norman discussed both the women's game and PGA Tour's connection with Saudi Arabia.
In Saudi Arabia, the PGA Tour has about 27 sponsors who do business worth 40 billion dollars a year.
Can't the PGA Tour call every CEO of those organizations and say, "Sorry, but we can't do business with you because you're doing business with Saudi Arabia? ”
Later, he stated: "The LPGA Tour is sponsored by Aramco, isn't it?" Aramco is the largest sponsor of women's golf in the world."
He also mentioned that his phone is flooded with messages from players interested in joining LIV every day.
We will be holding our next event at the International just outside Boston, where LIV will be hosting the event.
