As I watch the snow fall outside and gripe about shoveling, I received an interesting news feed – It looks as if Mr. Woods has lost another endorsement; This one coming from Golf Digest. CNBC reported:
NEW YORK – Tiger Woods will no longer be writing a monthly column for Golf Digest, ending a long standing sponsorship that adds to a growing pile of dropped endorsements for the golfer. “We have decided it’s now time for a break,” Woods said in a joint statement with Golf Digest on Thursday. The decision comes on the heels of Procter & Gamble Co’s Gillette brand not renewing its contract with Woods at the end of December.
Accenture, AT&T Inc, PepsiCo Inc Gatorade have all ended sponsor deals with the golfer. Electronic Arts, however, announced this week it was planning to release a “Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12″ video game”
How ’bout them apples? At least he’s got a video game going for him…oh…and his billion dollar net worth according to Forbes.com. And all that hoopla about his ex taking him for half is pretty much B.S. Rumor has it that The-Golfer-Formerly-Known-As-Eldrick has short arms and deep pockets*.
Hit’em long…yell FORE!!! Now where’s my snowsuit…?
I am waiting for Golf Digest to give me a call. They need a old guy like me too get this golf stuff straight. Seems like Tiger and I are far apart–I seem to have long arms and shallow pockets.
