Damn Tiger! All of this drama for some sideline vagina! It is not worth it brotha! Gatorade announced today that it has ended its business relationship with Tiger Woods. “We no longer see a role for Tiger in our marketing efforts,” a Gatorade spokesman said. He added the company’s partnership with the Tiger Woods Foundation will continue. t first, Woods’ sponsors said they would stick by their star athlete. But in December, Accenture and AT&T (T, Fortune 500) announced they were dropping sponsorship. Woods had signed a multi-year agreement with the telecom giant in February 2009, but terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
Procter & Gamble’s (PG, Fortune 500) Gillette said it would stop airing commercials that feature Woods for a while, though the company stopped short of saying it would end the relationship. Other major sponsors, including Nike (NKE, Fortune 500), have stuck by Woods.
On one hand I thing that Tiger has to be kicking himself for this. On the other hand, I think that he may feel that after things die down, he can gain the endorsements again and recoup. Don;’t act like it aint possible. The public is known for forgiving and forgetting after time passes. We will see how this plays out.
