Tag Heuer Drops Tiger Woods
Tag Heuer is done wasting time with Tiger. The Swiss watch maker dumped the disgraced sports icon on Friday, announcing it will no longer use Tiger Woods’ image for their ads in the US in the wake of the golfer’s scandalous sex scandal.
“We recognize Tiger Woods as a great sportsman but we have to take account of the sensitivity of some consumers in relation to recent events,” Tag Heuer CEO Jean-Christophe Babin told Swiss daily Le Matin today.
Tiger, 34, has also been dropped by Accenture and Gillette since news broke of his reported extramarital affairs with at least 14 women late last month.

This is so hypocritical I also read Vanity Fair, the ultimate baseless magazine trashing Tiger for "deceiving the public that he was a normal guy" when he lived an abnormal life for a top tier golfer. First of all such hypocrisy, the public made the omage around him and used this to sell their product..joining with the Tiger Woods brand! Just free loaders for a ride and because he wouldnt drag his business in public like Kobe, then he is villified!!!
IMG clients, Hollywood or otherwise have no substance, listen shit happens in peoples lives, thats why we are all humans!!!How does this not make him a superb golfer…how does this draw analogies to "the other famous sports type on the LA highway"…I am so not gping to pull the "race card" on this.
So yes he is a schlep, swinging around his parts and unfaithful to his wife, dishonoring the sanctity of marriage..remind me how much of America, even regular joe-nobody is also doing this..I forget!
Listen he is human and is at fault but to be villified by all these so called partners and dropped unceremoniously for their freeloading endorsements, just tell me honestly we are not playing on a level field here.
He has his demons to face whether everyone knows about it or just Elin knows about it…get this world he knows it and so does God!!!Just drop the hypocrisy that the WORLD, business and media underwrites as the rules of the GAME…Is it that he has shown up its all a sham! Yes thats the truth so lets hear about those so called endorsement companies and what they TRULY represent and how they skillfully misrepresent the real truth.
Hello get real world…this is Gods grand opportunity for Tiger to face himslef and all these other brutish hypocrites too…
JUST THE FACTS..
