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."

CEO of LIV Golf Greg Norman claims Tiger Woods was offered $700-800 million to join the sport's new series.

“Just say you went over there for the money. Now you’re playing the same exact amount. They had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO. That number is somewhere in that neighbourhood." They're playing blaring music and have all these atmospheres that are different. "Look, Tiger is a needle-mover, right? Golf

Tiger Woods turned down an offer that Greg Norman says was in the region of $700m to $800m to take part in the Saudi-funded LIV Golf Invitational series.

Asked why his rival tour has caused such an uproar among American golf fans, Norman responded plainly, “I don’t know.” “I really don’t care,” Norman said. “So they had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO. So, yes, that number was somewhere in that neighborhood.” During an appearance on Fox News with Tucker Carlson that aired Monday night, Norman confirmed what he told the Washington Post in a story two months ago.

“I know Greg tried to do what he is doing now back in the early Nineties. It didn't work then and he is trying to make it work now. What is the incentive to go out there and earn it in the dirt? What these players are doing for guaranteed money, what is the incentive to practice? “They have gone right from the amateur ranks to that organisation and never really had a chance to feel what it is like to play a schedule or play in big events. “Some players have never had a chance to even experience playing on one of the tours.

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.

LIV approached the 15-time major winner prior to Norman's appointment as CEO.

“Look, Tiger is the needle-mover, right? “They had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO. Yes, that number is somewhere in that neighbourhood.” Norman had previously indicated that Woods rejected a “mind-blowingly enormous” offer in the “high nine digits” from LIV, and instead chosen to remain aligned with the PGA Tour.

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.

The new event is set for October 8-10 and will feature 60 boy and girl junior golfers competing at the Links at Spanish Bay and the The Hay.

“I am excited to welcome a diverse field of young golfers to the TGR JR Invitational presented by TaylorMade,” Woods said in a press release. A 27-hole qualifying round will take place on The Hay on the first day of competition followed by championship and consolation matches on The Links at Spanish Bay on Day 2. The new event is set for October 8-10 and will feature 60 boy and girl junior golfers competing at the Links at Spanish Bay and the The Hay, the short course recently redesigned by Tiger’s TGR Design.

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.”

TGR Live is partnering with Pebble Beach Company and TaylorMade to host the TGR JR Invitational presented by TaylorMade, Oct. 8-10, 2022.

Zookeepers hope the three-year-old Sumatran tiger will "hit it off" with their resident female.

The Sumatran tiger is listed as critically endangered by the Internal Union for the Conservation of Nature with just 400 estimated to remain in the wild "Their prospect of survival is hanging by a thread and the endangered species breeding programme, run by Europe's leading conservation zoos, is a vitally important part of the international effort to ensure these magnificent animals are here for generations to come."

“Dash is a handsome, confident young tiger and he’s quickly settled into his new surroundings,” director of animals and plants at Chester Zoo Mike Jordan said. “He’s been carefully matched with female tiger Kasarna, based on his age, character and his genetics, and we’re hopeful that they’ll soon strike up a close bond and, one day, go on to have cubs. Chester Zoo has welcomed a “handsome, confident” Sumatran tiger named Dash.

With as few as 400 remaining in the wild, the Sumatran tiger is one of the rarest big cats on the planet.

The Sumatran tiger is listed as critically endangered by the Internal Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) with just 400 estimated to remain. “Without conservation efforts like these, the future for the Sumatran tiger may soon look similar to that of Javan, Caspian and Balinese tigers, which heartbreakingly are all now extinct. Their prospect of survival is hanging by a thread and the endangered species breeding programme, run by Europe’s leading conservation zoos, is a vitally important part of the international effort to ensure these magnificent animals are here for generations to come.
