Greg Norman, the tour's CEO, said Monday night that Tiger Woods turned down between $700 million and $800 million to join the tour.
The British Open was played by Tiger Woods.
According to Norman, LIV Golf offered Woods between 700 million and 800 million dollars.
Forbes named Woods a billionaire in June because of his $1.7 billion in career earnings, making him the most valuable golfer in the world and the only one with more than one billion dollars in career earnings.
Last month, Woods said that he believes golfers who joined the tour turned their backs on what has allowed them to get to this position. In June of this year, Norman told the Washington Post that LIV Golf offered Woods a huge contract. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund invested billions of dollars into the golf venture, which many view as a way for the country to improve its international reputation.
There are seven Forbes published a list of the 10 highest-paid golf players in the world last week. His huge up-front payment from the tour made him the highest earning golfer last year.
As LIV Golf becomes more entwined with the political right, Norman is interviewing Carlson. A golf tournament was held at Trump's country club in Bedminster, New Jersey, last week, and Trump appeared prominently in the event.
