Co-hosts Kathy Bissell and Gary Van Sickle talk with Hughes Norton, one of golf's first Superagents and his new book, Rainmaker. Norton signed, among others, Tiger Woods and Greg Norman, but also Curtis Strange, Ben Crenshaw, Bill Rodgers, Tom Watson, Mark O'Meara, Peter Jacobsen, and Bobby Clampett, David Graham, Nancy Lopez and others when he was in charge of golf at IMG. McCormack, who hired Norton out of college, soon assigned him to the golf division. Two years after delivering at least $60 million in guaranteed sponsorship money to Tiger Woods, Norton was dismissed by Woods. Not long after that, he was fired by McCormack but given a severance package of $9 million. Hughes has been silent since that time. He's now telling his story. The book is a wonderful read, and Norton credits George Peper, former editor of Golf Magazine, who helped him craft it.
