Elaborating on Woods’s attitude and comparing the two, the author said, “But Tiger couldn’t care less.” NTiger Woods’s Ex-Agent Throws ‘Narcissistic’ Greg Norman Under the Bus With Savage 5-Word Comparison
The list of Hughes Norton’s engagements in the sports world is endless. The focus presently is his intriguing new book, Rainmaker, which contains anecdotes of his association with Tiger Woods and Greg Norman. The two were, and still are considered to be all-time greats and were regarded as bitter competitors. But as Hughes Norton’s riveting book reveals, there was a shocking difference between the goals and personalities behind the scenes.
Norton portrayed Woods as a person who was extremely discomforted with the idea of fame. Woods’s former agent said that fame was “an intrusion into his (Tiger Woods) life.” But on the contrary, Greg Norman loved the fame, and everything that came with it; “Greg, on the other hand, loved the adoration, the attention, and the wealth with the Gulfstream jets and the seven Ferraris in the garage.”

Elaborating on Woods’s attitude and comparing the two, the author said, “But Tiger couldn’t care less.” Norton revealed about the 5x major champion that he did not care much about money. “At one point he said, ‘You know there’s this $40 million from Nike, $20 million from Titleist, it’s paper money, Hughes’. He picked up a winner’s cheque from a tournament he’d just won and said, ‘See this, this $300,000 I won in Las Vegas, that’s real to me. This other stuff is paper money. It’s an interesting outlook but it showed you how narrow-focused he was,” said while talking to Today’s Golfer.
