Jack Nicklaus says he was originally offered more than $100 million to help lead the LIV Golf Invitational Series.
"I was offered something in excess of $100 million by the Saudis, to do the job probably similar to the one that Greg is doing," Nicklaus told Michael Bamberger of The Fire Pit Collective. "I turned it down. Once verbally, once in writing. I said, 'Guys, I have to stay with the PGA Tour. I helped start the PGA Tour.'"
Greg Norman, the Australian golfing legend, now serves as the CEO of LIV Golf and has been publicly spearheading the Saudi movement to create a rival to the PGA Tour.
