根據利夫高球巡迴賽首席執行長格雷格．諾曼表示，老虎伍茲拒絕以約7到8億美元的報酬報價，參加這個由沙烏地阿拉伯贊助的高球系列賽。
During an interview on Fox News that aired
on Monday, former world No. 1 Norman was asked by Tucker Carlson if it was true
that Woods was offered $700-$800 million to join the LIV Golf series.
在福斯新聞週一播出的一段訪問中，曾是男子高球世界排名第一的諾曼被（福斯新聞主播）塔克．卡爾森問到，伍茲是否真的被以7到8億美元的報酬受邀參加利夫高球系列賽。
"That number was out there before I
became CEO," Norman replied. "So, that number’s been out there, yes.
Look, Tiger’s a needle mover, right?
「在我成為執行長前，就提出這個金額了，」諾曼回道。「所以，是的，這金額早就提出來了。你知道的，老虎是關鍵要人，是吧？」
"So, of course, you’re going to look
at the best of the best. They had originally approached Tiger before I became
CEO, so, yes, that number is somewhere in that neighborhood."
「所以，當然，你會想找強棒中的強棒。他們在我成為執行長前，一開始就接觸過老虎，所以，沒錯，金額差不多就是這樣。」
