His Nike deal is safe as his demographics won't really care much. But I think it really hurts his standing with other sponsors that target broader demographics.
I think what could get him are the ties to the pornstar. It's one thing to have an affair, it's another in the public's eye to be fucking pornstars behind your wife's back. Just makes him look like huge trash that could impact his image when it comes to wealthy people. Do you want the face of your luxury automobile to be a guy who cheated on his wife and mother of his children with a bunch of skanky chicks including a pornstar? Tiger sold well because while being a great golfer, he came across as high class. He's trailer trash now. |

Looks like Gatorade is the first to jump ship. They are saying it isn't related to the recent events with Tiger, but who actually believes that? I sure as hell don't.

It has nothing to do with it. The plan to drop Gatorade Tiger was announced two days before the accident, just FYI.

If you read the whole article, they're just ending a line of drinks that was in his name and publicly announced two days before this all started., they're not dropping Tiger as a spokesperson. |

Before the crash, not before the affair rumors. Someone could have been tipped off inside that this was not going to end well for Tiger from an image standpoint.

I agree with much of what you say, but I think he loses a lot of fans, certainly not all, maybe not even a majority but a significant number. I know my days of cheering for him are done. |

I could see that. I was never a fan of his - nothing personal about Tiger, I'm just not a golf fan - but I certainly respected him as a talent (sort of the same way I felt about Michael Jordan). Now, however, I see him in a totally different light and I could see how fans would be even more strongly affected. It will be interesting to follow the long term effects of this.

How much did he earn from Gatorade?
"In an official statement released Tuesday, the company said: “We decided several months ago to discontinue Gatorade Tiger Focus along with some other products to make room for our planned series of innovative products in 2010. We hope to share more about our 2010 plans soon.” “Gatorade Tiger Focus” was launched last spring and was the only product to contain theanine, which is said to reduce mental and physical stress. The partnership was unprecedented because Woods received royalties from sales of the beverage, rather than a contractual amount for an endorsement." http://entertainment.blogs.foxnews.c...h-tiger-woods/ Last edited by Galaxy : 12-08-2009 at 06:16 PM.

Tiger has some low standards I mean if you're going to cheat at least she should be a 7 or better. I mean damn man you're Tiger Woods bitches would throw it at you just to say they did. George Clooney is the only sane man in America imo... why settle down when I am getting it for free?

Man, I like the Greenish-Gatorade TIGER Focus.
Regarding his marriage issues, guy is a complete joke. With Tiger's money, there should be no problems AT ALL in keeping one's mistresses on the down-low. Moronic. And god damn man, your wife is one of, if not the hottest woman on the planet, imo. However, if the reports of his addiction to narcotic pain-killers are true, I hope he gets all the help he needs(and it would certainly explain his ridiculous choices over the past few years). This addiction stretches from the richest of the rich to the poorest of the poor, and it's fairly similar to a heroin addiction. I became addicted to the heroin-esque feeling of vicodin and oxycodone after wisdom teeth surgery, and I can honestly say that I will never be completely free from the cravings of those drugs. I've been able to keep the cravings in check, but it's hard work. Hopefully Tiger's family does the right thing, and helps him out. If one takes painkiller addiction lightly, and attempts to toss it under the rug, it will remain a huge problem. Bottom line, the masses will forgive him if he steps up to the podium like a man and answers some simple questions. If he continues to act like a sheltered child, his image will never recover.

Kinda nice to know that one of the porn stars admitted that she had sex with him on a porn site back in May and no one noticed until now.

I'm guessing he checks into a rehab clinic for "unspecified reasons" within 6 weeks.
Rehab is a great way to make sure that you get back on the sympathy side of the PR battle. The thing is, people want to like Tiger, so as soon as he makes this about Tiger v. his demons, the public will get back behind him. |

As soon as Tiger wins one major, all will be right with the world again.
I saw a great parallel to Kobe Bryant. Less than five years ago, he was a villian. Now, ESPN eagerly hocks his shit for X-mas gifts. And Kobe was going through the whole "rape" thing....what Tiger is guilty for is falling for what many, many (all?) men would do if they were Tiger Woods and not DaddyTorgo.

Like I said earlier, all he needs to do is win.
Winning changes everything. Everyone, specially America, loves winners.

Is Kobe's situation and Tiger's situation comparable? I mean, wasn't the girl in Kobe's situation rather questionable? Not to mention that the way Kobe presents himself to the public is not the same as the way Tiger does. |

I'm not sure how people expect someone to talk to someone they are sneaking off to bang. It's not going to be layered with sophisticated talk. Just talk of the stupid and horny type.

Agreed. These texts are very similar in nature, tone and sophistication as those between ex-Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his mistress. It's all really embarassing.

It is kind of pathetic how insecure he is. I mean, he's Tiger Woods. He's pretty much considered to be the best at what he does and the most dominating athlete in his respective sport (maybe along with Federer). You think a guy like that wouldn't be insecure about anything, but I guess despite the fame, fortune, success, etc. he's just like anyone else. Well, kinda.

I imagine he was to busy excelling and focusing on golf to gain confidence in other aspects of life.
Now he's making up for it. And yeah, insecure to boot. Last edited by jeff061 : 12-10-2009 at 03:02 PM. |

I think Tiger has serious problems, and I hope he gets help soon. I'll still root for him in golf, and root for him to better his life. I don't agree with the things he did, but hopefully he changes his ways and gets the help he needs.

Holy shit, if I saw those texts on my teenage sons phone I would smack him for being a wuss.
It really is hard to believe that arguably the greatest of all time at his sport is so frickin needy. Guess money, a good short game and a 12 pack of mistresses can't buy happiness. |

I guess where I come from texting like that is considered normal. I mean, it's not normal when you already have a wife and kids at home (or is it?), but that shit goes on ALL THE TIME. It's probably just funny to see it coming from Tiger Woods, who we previously held in such high esteem.

And this....people like this have a very hard time growing up. when Dad pushes them into sport to excel at an early age the shell grows but the person inside doesnt. They miss out on a lot of the normal milestones thus getting lost in age. IMO. Its not only sport though that it occurs within but money as well....spoiled kids that feel invincible get caught too.
