So winning several Masters, being the leader of the golf world and a role model to millions of men, women and kids means nothing to Gatorade because they joined the list of sponsors who have dropped Tiger Woods after his romper room affairs took center stage over the 2009 Thanksgiving holiday.
A Gatorade spokeswoman told the Associated Press on Friday, “I can confirm that we no longer see a role for Tiger in our marketing efforts and have ended our relationship. We wish Tiger all the best.” Yet the company will continue to partner with Tiger’s foundation.
Losing Gatorade is a third and substantial lost for Woods, he also lost Gillette and Accenture, a global consulting firm. Fortunately he is still being endorsed by AT&T, Tag Heuer, and Nike but who knows if his mistresses continue coming out of the woodworks.
Way to go Tiger, you had a wife, two kids and millions of dollars a year and now you may be teaching golf lessons to kids for money rather than sponsoring them.
