With Phil Mickelson being paid an insane amount to join LIV Golf, it was also announced that the new tour made a run for Tiger Woods, but he declined.

According to former golfer Greg Norman — who has heavy stake in LIV Golf — Woods was offered a high amount in the “nine figures” range to leave the PGA for LIV.

🚨#UPDATE: Tiger Woods rejected a “mind blowingly enormous” offer to join LIV GOLF. The deal was in “the high 9 digits” according to Greg Norman, in a new exclusive with The Washington Post. (Via @GolfDigest)
