Tiger Woods has done it again. The most successful golfer of all time again rejected a multi-million dollar proposal - in this case, three million dollars - to participate in a tournament in Saudi Arabia next January. Speaking to ESPN, Words said he did not want to play in Saudi Arabia: "I don't want to go there. It's far away."

' I don't want to go to Saudi Arabia. It is very far "so the golfer expressed

The real reason for Tiger's refusal, however, would be explained not so much in the alleged remoteness of the Asian country as this year's edition was overshadowed by the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October 2018 Despite this, the event was held with the collusion of the European Tour, which was the subject of numerous criticisms. Woods himself had already given up participating even before Khashoggi's death. "I understand the policy behind it, but golf can also help grow and heal some things," he said.
