Dictionaries are very useful. I'll give you a hint, "P" comes right after "O".

What money grubbers? People need a life if they get all wrapped up in Tiger the person. Tiger the golfer is entertainment, just like all athletes. Off the field, they're just like anyone else, some dopes, some not.

Money grubbers like the PGA. Nike (who signed Tonya Harding right after the Nancy Kerrigan clubbing!).

Everything in life always comes down to money Walrus. That's just the way it is:eek:

Fixed your post:eek:

Sorry, I couldn't resist:D

Enlighten me. What's the "P" and the "O" have to do with anything?
 
Re: TIGER WOODS hurt in car accident.

I understand Trojan is going to step in for any sponsors who cut Tiger loose. ;)
 
Re: TIGER WOODS hurt in car accident.

I think it was the Boston Herald's headline yesterday referring to Tiger taking a leave from golf.

"Tiger pulls out"


:D

to the reader here, you seem to have no grasp of the definition of 'prodigy' :confused: :p
 
Re: TIGER WOODS hurt in car accident.

Accenture becomes the first sponsor to officially cut ties. None of this "taking a break" or "putting it on hold" like Gilette and Gatorade. Good for Accenture. Now we'll see how fast they can get all those gigantic airport ads down!
 
Re: TIGER WOODS hurt in car accident.

I doubt any other sponsor cuts ties with Tiger - he is too important to their bottom line. They will lay low with their marketing of Tiger during his leave of absence. Then when he mounts (no pun intended) his return to the game, at the Masters, they will start easing back into their marketing campaigns.

I am sure Tiger's marketing/corporate team strongly has advised him to take the leave and lay low. It is the end of the golf season so there is no loss there. Now it is matter of controlling the damage and letting it drop from the public mind once the next celebrity scandal comes up.

He may have damaged his reputation in many people's minds, but the corporate powers know that they just need to get through this and their cash cow will be back. That is all that is really important - that Tiger comes back saying he has repented, he is a new man, devoted to family, etc. and then let the cash registers ring.

I really think Accenture had to dump him more than any other of his sponsors. They were not selling a razor, a watch, or sports drink. They were comparing the strategy/integrity of their work and their people with him, and clearly this was not a comparison that should continue right now.

Public image is just that, an image. It's manufactured. Nobody out there has as big a stake in destroying Tiger as the corporations have in redeeming his brand.

Give it 6 months to a year, then the full court press of every corporate mouthpiece from ESPN to the nightly news will play Pied Piper.

hey, there's that slick looking doochnozzle golfer...

implicitly by the nature of his adverts and the way he presents himself as a good kid and stand-up type of person with a touch of class and edginess. None of that was said directly by Tiger... of course not. Do you honestly think he can reclaim that image after all this? I'd think that would be fairly shameless at this point.
