LIV Golf has reportedly tabled an offer of between $700 million and $800 million to Tiger Woods to lure him, according to LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman.

“Yes, the numbers have come out. Tiger is a top dog. So, of course, you like to watch the best of the best. They first approached Tiger before I became CEO, so yes, that number is somewhere in there,”Norman told “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

LIV Golf is this league backed by Saudi Arabia. It is famous because of the astronomical sums of money it offers to PGA Tour golfers to join it. The offer made to Tiger Wood is certainly the most lucrative to date, beating the 200 million given to Phil Mickelson.

No matter how much money LIV Golf deposits, Tiger Woods will never play there, as he has been very critical of the tour:

“The players who have chosen to go to LIV and play there, I don’t agree with. I think what they’ve done is they’ve turned their backs on what got them to this status.”

Perhaps Tiger Woods could afford to turn down the millions from LIV Golf. He is one of the only billionaire athletes on the planet.

The PGA Tour will increase its prize money for the big tournaments in the upcoming campaign (2022-23) as it faced a challenge from the LIV GOLF Tour.

Winnings awarded by the PGA will be made for eight of the major invitational tournaments with $25 million, up from $20 million this season for the Players Championship.

There will also be $145 million in additional bonuses, including $75 million for the FedEx Cup, where 70 players will compete, not 125 as before.

This increase came about because of the LIV Golf.  The increase came as a result of the PGA Tour presenting the largest prize packages in history to entice the PGA Tour’s top performers in a campaign that would expand to 14 tournaments from eight.

The public wanted more impact in the regular season at the FedEx Cup, while strengthening the tournaments where players must compete in duals.

The LIV Tour is funded by Saudi Arabia. The tour led by former champion Greg Norman offers to poach the best players in the world a fortune to its stars. For its part, the PGA Tour has suspended the players who have defected.

The 2022-23 campaign will begin with the Fortinet Championship, which will be held in Napa from September 15 to 18.

Tom Brady is so unique, he’s from another planet. At 44, he is still one of the biggest stars in the NFL. As a result, his merchandise is still at the top.

By the end of the 2021-22 campaign, Tom Brady sat atop the list of all players who sold the most officially licensed NFL products. Then, heading into the upcoming season, his name is still stuck at number one.

He ranks ahead of Russell Wilson (Denver) and Cooper Kupp (Los Angeles-Rams), who are ranked second and third respectively.

It’s also surprising that Patrick Mahomes (8th) and Lamar Jackson (18th) are so far behind in merchandise sales, as they are the ones who make people run.

All things considered, Tom Brady enters next season at the top of the sales charts, so he should close this race at number one once again.

NBA starDwight Howard will be attending WWE tryouts this weekend ahead of SummerSlam.

The former Los Angeles Lakers star, who has played in eight NBA All-Star games, was spotted preparing for SummerSlam, and is apparently very serious about joining the WWE one day.

The 6-foot-10, 265-pound kingpin is still a very attractive athlete for a role in the league, even though he is 36 years old. However, he will have to convince Triple H that he has what it takes to succeed.

When he was playing for the Houston Rocket in 2015, Dwight Howard was part of a WWE live event, as he faced Rusev and Lana on the Houston side.

In short, Dwight Howard is currently a free agent, then if he doesn’t land a contract in the NBA, he may be looking at a new career sooner rather than later.

SummerSlam will take place this weekend (July 30) live from Nissan Stadium in Nashville.

The opening of NFL teams’ training camps this week brings its share of surprises. Beyond the players trying to break into the lineup, the new helmets called Guardian Caps are turning heads.

NFL teams are complying with a new league directive for training camp. With the addition ofGuardian Caps on players’ current helmets, the NFL hopes toreduce the number of head injuries to its athletes.

According to the league, the helmet’s embossed coating creates a soft shell layer that can significantly reduce the impact of shocks during a helmet-to-helmet collision. Players in certain positions deemed more at risk are required to wearGuardian Caps between the start of training camp and the second preseason game.

Some teams, like the Pittsburgh Steelers, even require other players to wear them as well.

The Guardian Cap was adopted at the league’s annual meetings in March as part of the NFL’s ongoing efforts to reduce head injuries during practice.

In 2021, 187 concussions were seen in the NFL during the regular season and preseason games. A significant improvement from the worst year for this, in 2017, 281concussions were recorded.

The NFL season will get underway on September 8, when the Buffalo Bills take on the last Super Bowl champions, the Los Angeles Rams.

Michael Schumacher‘s record-breaking 1998 Ferrari F300 F1 will be auctioned off this August.

According to rumors, the potential buyer will have to fork out at least 7 million pounds, which works out to nearly $11 million Canadian, reports The Sun.

The Schumi-piloted car is undefeated, having won four times, making it the most successful Ferrari in the history of Formula One.

The former owner of this beautiful car had owned it for 23 years, buying it directly from Ferrari in 1999.

The most wonderful thing about this car is that it has never been restored to its original condition.

It has remained identical (to when it was on the track) in order to keep its authenticity.

Let’s remember that this car ran with the best engine ever produced in the F1 world, before the arrival of the hybrid engine.
