Saudi golf league gains another star in Dustin Johnson, unable to woo Tiger Woods
Golf legend Greg Norman, who heads the Saudi breakaway competition, said Woods was offered nearly $1 billion to play.
The new, Saudi-funded golf league continues to gain momentum ahead of its launch in the United Kingdom on June 9.
American golfer Dustin Johnson resigned from the PGA Tour today and is now confirmed to be playing in the LIV Golf Invitational, according to the league's website. Johnson is a major name in the sport, having won the US Open in 2016 and the Masters in 2020.
LIV Golf also confirmed yesterday that American golf great Phil Mickelson will play in the invitational.
In May, English golfer Lee Westwood declared his intent to play, and his participation is also now confirmed.
