Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods turned down LIV Golf's nine-figure offer but it would have been historic had the golfer accepted it.

“I know what the PGA Tour stands for and what we have done and what the Tour has given us," he later added. Like James and Jordan, most of Woods' earnings have come via his off-the-field deals and endorsements. In fact, the LIV Golf money wouldn't have just dwarfed Woods' career earnings either. Even despite the monumental nature of LIV Golf's offer, Woods wasn't tempted by it. Had Woods accepted that offer from LIV Golf, it would have been historic. They had originally approached Tiger before I became CEO. That number is somewhere in that neighborhood.

The new event is set for October 8-10 and will feature 60 boy and girl junior golfers competing at the Links at Spanish Bay and the The Hay.

“I am excited to welcome a diverse field of young golfers to the TGR JR Invitational presented by TaylorMade,” Woods said in a press release. A 27-hole qualifying round will take place on The Hay on the first day of competition followed by championship and consolation matches on The Links at Spanish Bay on Day 2. The new event is set for October 8-10 and will feature 60 boy and girl junior golfers competing at the Links at Spanish Bay and the The Hay, the short course recently redesigned by Tiger’s TGR Design.

Woods' offer is roughly four times more than what Phil Mickelson signed with LIV Golf.

Woods is an avowed critic of LIV Golf, saying last month he believes golfers who joined the tour “turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position,” ripping into LIV Golf’s 54-hole, no-cut format. Mickelson’s $138 million in earnings last year easily led all golfers, buoyed largely by his massive up-front payment from the tour. Norman told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson that LIV Golf offered Woods “somewhere in the neighborhood” of between $700 million and $800 million, explaining “Tiger is a needle mover.”

TGR Live is partnering with Pebble Beach Company and TaylorMade to host the TGR JR Invitational presented by TaylorMade, Oct. 8-10, 2022.
