AGENT SLAMS ‘ZOMBIE-LIKE’ TIGER WOODS AFTER BEING FIRED OUT OF THE BLUE
Tiger Woods’ ex-agent Hughes Norton has revealed being fired by the 15-time major winner felt like ‘betrayal with a capital B’.
Hughes Norton, the super agent who orchestrated Tiger Woods‘ rise to fame, has recently revealed the brutal manner in which he was laid off by the 15-time major champion.
Discussing his new book ‘Rainmaker’ with the Daily Mail, Norton pulled the curtain back on his relationship with Woods and gave a detailed account of how the two parted ways in 1998.
Having first met Woods aged only 13, Norton had a front-row seat to the wildest ride in golf and was responsible for handling a series of huge money deals for the future hall of famer.
Norton was Woods’ agent when he won The Masters in 1997 and also orchestrated his multi-million-dollar deals with Nike and Titleist in 1996.
Despite believing that he had gone above and beyond what was asked of him as an agent, Norton was shockingly cut loose only two years into his professional relationship with Woods.
The former IMG super agent described the termination as a ‘betrayal with a capital B’ on both a professional and personal level.
