While he waits for the new series to make him an offer to join its broadcasting crew, Charles said he's going to support both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. There is a time limit.
Charles is sticking to the NBA and won't be joining LIV Golf as a commentator.
The New York Post quoted him as saying that he wanted to thank Greg Norman and LIV. I wish them all the best. I'm staying with Turner for the rest of my TV career because Turner and basketball have given me everything in my life.
He spoke with Norman, the golf series' CEO, but didn't receive a formal offer from LIV.
I told Greg that I did. "I'm in a win-WIN situation." I'm happy if they offer me something good. If they don't, I have a good job.
He didn't want to keep the network or his sponsors in limbo, so he decided to keep his job.
An avid golfer and a Hall of Fame basketball player, Charles Barkley is known for an unusual hitch in his swing. The financial support from Saudi Arabia's public investment fund made it difficult for him to join.
Everybody is making up words. "If you play sports, we all take money from some sources you might not like or appreciate." I don't want to be hypocritical. The men are trying to make a living. I wish them good luck. It's the same with my friends on the tour. Everyone is playing the moral card.
"For some reason, everyone wants to make a big deal out of it," he stated. I will not allow that to happen on my watch.
There will be 48 golf players competing for an unprecedented $405 million in purses in LIV Golf's expansion to 14 events. The LIV Golf International Series was launched this year through a $300 million investment in the Asian Tour.
