Sir Charles is spoken for.
LIV Golf was reportedly looking to hire Barkley as a broadcaster. Barkley met with Greg Norman to discuss the role and even played in the pro-am before an LIV event Thursday. At that event, Barkley said he was still waiting on an offer from LIV. He gave the Saudi Backed Golf league a deadline of Thursday.
Apparently he never received an offer.

Barkley is now taking his name out of consideration for the LIV job, according to the Post.
“I want to thank Greg Norman and LIV for their interest in me,” Barkley said in a phone interview. “I wish those guys great success and nothing but the best. But, in my best interest, and being fair to Turner — because Turner and basketball have given me every single thing in my life — It is best for me to move on and I’m staying with Turner for the rest of my TV career.”

Barkley made that decision before receiving an offer from LIV Golf. Barkley previously said it would take a lot of money for him to leave TNT. He reportedly has three years and $30 million left on his contract at TNT.
I’m pretty sure if he still received a crazy offer he’d take in a second.
But for now Charles gave LIV Golf a ton of free publicity.
