Well it looks like Tiger Woods has at least one support group after the recent outbreak of his adulterous affairs has hit the media. Major sports giant Nike has decided to continue to support Tiger through this whole ordeal, retaining him as a spokesman for the Nike name despite his “indefinite break” from professional golf. In a statement to Usmagazine, Nike quotes:
“Tiger has been part of Nike for more than a decade. He is the best golfer in the world and one of the greatest athletes of his era. We look forward to his return to golf. He and his family have Nike’s full support.”
Meanwhile, one of Tiger’s other major sponsors, Gillette, has dropped Tiger from their ads. A company spokesperson announced yesterday that they will be distancing themselves from the world’s best golfer:
“As Tiger takes a break from the public eye, we will support his desire for privacy by limiting his role in our marketing programs.”
Good cover…sounds like Proctor & Gamble is trying to take the ‘classy’ way out.
Tiger Woods earns about $110 million a year between endorsements and tournaments with Nike, Gillette and Pepsi. Pepsi, it’s your turn…whatcha gonna do?
It‘s quiet in here! Why not leave a response?
