First sponsor to officially drop Tiger, Gillette stopped running Tiger's ads indefinitely. Most expensive sex ever?

Tiger needs to replace the Nike logo on his hat with the Trojan logo.

Poor rich man. He was coddled and his rear end was kissed endlessly. Now he has received a dishonorable discharge from his innocent family man image and is seen as a scoundrel.

Life isn't fair. :'(

Anyone want to take odds that Proctor & Gamble's "taking a break" from tiger with their Gillette brand turns into a "we can no longer maintain our professional relationship" with him in the coming weeks or months?

this guy's image did a complete 180 in a few weeks

He sure is one arrogant dumb fucker, that is for sure. He made 90% of his money from endorsements that were based on his reputation and image as a role model and he goes and fucks it up....literally.

Luckily for him, he's set for Life, even if his Wife manages to soak him in a Divorce settlement. Still sucks to be him at this time though. It's a pretty harsh thing when your World crashes around you, your Fault or not.

If he comes back to golf and does well again, the sponsors will come back (or new sponsors will emerg} Tiger is vitaly important to professional golf and I imagine his first game back (if it happens) will be a ratings winner no matter what the tournament is.

The guy made some mistakes and now he is trying to sort out his life. I cant believe it is such big news.

the press coverage on his eventual comeback tour is gonna make him back whatever money he's losing right now.

I think it sucks that the media is essentially forcing golf's greatest player ever out of the game.

Most folks are corrupted by easy money. Think of all the whacked out rock stars, tv & movie stars, athletes and, assorted other personalities. Do you really think they were whacked out before they were famous? Few people are able to observe themselves critically. Even the ones who escape taking themselves terribly seriously get burned by the entourage.

it'll blow over when the next scandal arises. Anyone still remember David Letterman's infidelity? Meh.

BTW, is he really hurting for that $100mil per year after all this time?

Here's how I see it.

This is his fault for screwing around. Any and all sponsors that drop him totally have the rights.

Now, I do think people should leave him alone to work this all out. These are personal problems that him and his family need to think and talk about.

And a little OT: Who do you think is gonna be on the 2011 cover of EA PGA Golf? I'm fairly sure it won't come back as "Tiger Woods" next year.

he is an idiot.

he could of had sex with all these women, keep all his endorsements and probably keep a strong image (compared to married) and be perfectly fine, but because he couldnt just fuck his hot as hell wife and had to have sex with uglier people, he is going to lose it all.

So will Tiger embrace the African-American community he shunned for so long now that the white folks don't want him no 'mo? It worked for Michael Jackson...
