An ex-employee of Tiger Woods has alleged that the legendary golfer treated him poorly when the two parted ways. Woods turned professional in 1996, and since then, the golfer has had two IMG agents. One of them was Hughes Norton, and he was the first agent Woods had after turning professional.
Norton started working for Woods in the summer of 1996, and he continued for two years with the golfer until the legendary player decided to part ways with him. Recently, Norton decided to open up about how their partnership ended.
He started by saying that he denied media for years from talking about his separation from Woods, and he had finally moved on from it. He further claimed that Woods never gave an explanation for firing him, and he still hoped for some closure. He said (on the SubPar podcast via Marca.com):

“Never gave an explanation...That really isn't a great way to treat anybody... Give me a closure here, I am a human being... And for him, 24 months in, to fire me over the phone is just still inexplicable. And I've never spoken to him since that moment. He's never given me any response. And sadly, he does this with a lot of people in his life.”
Norton also shared that when he worked with Greg Norman, the former LIV Golf CEO treated him with respect. He said:
“At least he was loyal for that whole period of time and appreciated the work we had done.”
Norton was responsible for getting Tiger Woods' initial endorsement deals with Nike and Titleist after the golfer turned professional. But in 1998, he was replaced by Mark Steinberg, who continues to work for the five-time Masters winner.
