(Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-Rae) ○… “The Emperor of Golf Returned” Tiger Woods (USA · Photo) would have refused a Won of 1 Billion of Saudi Arabia.
Greg Norman (Australia), who directs the new professional golf tour “ Liv Golf Invitational Series ” supported by the Arab SAUDI Investment Fund (PIF), revealed in an interview with the Washington Post the 7th (Co in Time), “I contacted Woods and mentioned an amount of nine figures from a high figure.” This is a huge amount approaching $ 1 billion (1.2548 Billion de Won). Norman described it as “a huge quantity”.
If Norman’s declaration is true, Woods has refused an amount almost ten times the total price he has won during his lifetime on the PGA Tour and more than half of all his fortune. The Woods prize won over the PGA Tour is $ 120 million (151 billion won). Its richness accumulated for life exceeds a little less than $ 2 billion. Woods said on several occasions in the official midfield that he was “dedicated to the PGA Tour” and did not intend to join the Golf Liv.
Liv Golf attracted famous players by offering huge signature bonuses. The reports indicate that Dustin Johnson received $ 100 million (125.5 billion won) and Phil Mickelson (the two United States) received $ 30 million (37.7 billion won). Norman denied Rory Mcilroy (Northern Ireland), who openly opposes Liv Golf, saying that he was “washed by the brain by the leadership of the PGA Tour”. Regarding Jack Nicklaus (United States), he stressed that “he first supported golf liv”.
