According to Tucker Carlson in an interview that aired on Fox News on Monday, Norman was offered $700,000 to join LIV Golf.

It has been out there before I became CEO," Norman explained. "Look, Tiger is a needle mover."

It makes sense to look at the best of the best. Tiger approached them before I was CEO, so that number is somewhere around there.

A Woods proposal was "mind-bogglingly enormous," Norman told the Washington Post in June.

PGA Tour and DP World Tour players have left the established tours to compete on the controversial tour.

The list of winners includes Mickelson, Johnson, DeChambeau, Koepka, Garcia, Oosthuizen, Schwartzel, McDowell, and Kaymer.

Woods even criticized Norman for his role in the splinter tour: "Greg has done some things I don't think are in our game's best interest."

The 46-year-old Swede shot 11-under par at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster two weeks after losing his Ryder Cup captaincy.
