Tiger Pimp
Damn this Tiger Woods stuff doesn't stop! Well, you know that he is taking a break from Golf right? Also, Tiger lost one of his sponsors! Global consulting firm Accenture Ltd. became the first sponsor to cut ties altogether with Tiger Woods, saying the golfer is "no longer the right representative" after the "circumstances of the last two weeks." Representatives of Nike, Procter & Gamble's Gillette, videogame maker Electronic Arts, PepsiCo's Gatorade sports drink and laser-eye surgery chain TLC Vision said their relationships with Mr. Woods hadn't changed. (Pepsi said its recent decision to drop a Gatorade product named for Mr. Wood's wasn't related to the scandal.) Jet-rental company NetJets said Monday that it continued to support Mr. Woods. AT&T and sports-collectible retailer Upper Deck declined to comment. Consulting-firm Accenture and watch maker Tag Heuer, an LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton unit, couldn't be reached for comment. Behind the scenes, these advertisers are likely to be tracking how sales and consumer perceptions are being affected by the scandal, sports-marketing executives say. Consumers are disappointed by Mr. Woods's alleged behavior, and the golfer is generating alot of negative buzz.
