Greg Norman, the self-declared CEO of Disruption, went on national television Monday evening and confirmed that LIV Golf had offered Tiger Woods somewhere in the neighborhood of three-quarters of a billion dollars. That's a princely sum for a 46-year-old who's readily admitted that he can't play more than a few competitive events each year.
But of course, this was never about tournament appearances. It's not even about golf. This is about power and control for the Saudi Arabian government-funded league. It's about buying a sense of legitimacy. It's about grandstanding to the rest of the world. It's about upheaval in its highest form.
And it's all about playing the game.
The game is this: Everybody has a price – and we're going to find out what it is.
