MOSCOW, Aug 2 Fifteen-time winner of Major golf tournaments, American Tiger Woods turned down an offer to play in the Saudi-funded LIV Golf series, former professional golfer Greg Norman said. Since late 2021, Woods has been an opponent of the LIV Golf Tour. The American claimed that players who received money funded by Saudi Arabia's Sovereign Wealth Fund «turned their backs» on the PGA Tour that made them famous. It is noted that it is not known when the Saudi side proposed to Woods. The PGA Tour organizes the main men's professional golf tours in the US and North America. Woods has won 82 tournaments under the auspices of this organization. In June, 46-year-old Woods became the third athlete in history to increase his fortune to more than $ 1 billion, according to Forbes magazine. In addition to him, basketball players Michael Jordan and LeBron James were able to achieve such a mark.
