Hughes Norton, former IMG agent to Tiger Woods, Greg Norman

Hughes Norton, a Harvard Business School graduate, was a superagent in golf from the 1970s-'90s who took IMG to the next level, helped in part by signing and representing six former world No.1 men and women golfers. Among those were Greg Norman and Tiger Woods, the latter of whom he arranged all the deals that Tiger would take up when turning pro in 1996. Two years later, Tiger and IMG let him go. Hughes joins Evin to chat about his smash-hit new book with co-author George Peper, which is called Rainmaker: Superagent Hughes Norton and the Money-Grab Explosion of Golf from Tiger to LIV and Beyond. Evin, who co-wrote Together We Roared with Steve Williams, discusses everything with Hughes from why he wrote Rainmaker, to whom he'd love to represent if he came out of retirement and the day he played St Andrews Old, Winged Foot and Pebble Beach in 22 hours using chartered planes.
