Tiger Woods received a super attractive offer, but the 47-year-old golfer said no to the huge amount of money.

At that time, the golf world was stunned when it was reported that Tiger Woods had just rejected an offer worth up to 700 – 800 million USD. Mr. Greg Norman, CEO of LIV Golf, stated that the 47-year-old “Wooden Tiger” was not interested in this attractive invitation.

Woods rejected an $800 million offer to move to LIV Golf

To be able to receive the above amount of money, Woods needs to ensure that he will leave the PGA Tour (the organizer of most events in the top tournament series of the year) to join LIV Golf (a unit sponsored by the Investment Fund). Public, sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia). LIV Golf was newly established in 2021, this unit is looking to attract famous figures in the golf industry to sign contracts.

“Tiger is a star, he is a magnet that draws the audience to the stadium. They (LIV) approached Tiger before I became CEO, so I wanted to get this story out,” Norman revealed to “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” Mr. Norman said LIV made an attractive offer of up to 700 – 800 million USD but Woods did not change his mind.

In July, before the British Open, Woods supported the R & A’s decision to remove Norman from the Celebration of Champions event, while also lashing out at golfers who had defected to join the LIV ranks.

“Those athletes who chose to come to LIV and play there, I do not agree with their decision. I think what they did was turn their back on the place that helped them achieve the success they have today,” Woods criticized golfers coming to LIV.

Despite being criticized, many golfers are still determined to come to LIV because they received such an attractive offer. Bryson DeChambeau, who received $125 million to join LIV Golf, revealed that he has not spoken to Woods since coming to the new organization.

According to Celebritynetworth, legendary American golfer Tiger Woods has a net worth of up to 800 million USD. Each year the 47-year-old “Wooden Tiger” earns about 50 to 60 million USD.

From June 2019 to June 2020, he earned 63 million USD from different amounts of money (competition, advertising, social networks). Since competing professionally in 1996, Tiger has earned a total of $1.7 billion.

Also according to Celebritynetworth statistics, Cristiano Ronaldo, a Portuguese football player, has a net worth of more than 500 million USD. In a year, he can earn 100-150 million USD from salary and other payments.

The total amount of money that Ronaldo earns is approaching 1 billion USD. If he reaches this milestone, the player born in 1995 will be on par with sports billionaires such as Michael Schumacher (1 billion USD), Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan (1 billion USD). nearly 2 billion USD).

It can be seen that Woods used courage to refuse a contract worth as much as the net worth he holds, and it is more than the amount of money that star Ronaldo has. “Wooden Tiger” has shown that he has absolute loyalty to the PGA Tour, which has helped him become a star and a golf legend.
