    I am probably wrong, but this was probably his biggest sponsor.
  • Fab1b
    I would think so Wes as well
  • GoChiefs
    Is it really even going to matter? I'd imagine he has enough bank the way it is already.
  • Eric Taylor
    I would say so.

    Didn't Gillette pay him a buttload of cash too?
  • Fab1b
    I am sure they did
  • wes_mantooth
    What major sponsors does he have left?

  • GoChiefs
    EA Sports, Upper Deck, NetJets, TLC Vision, and Tag Heuer as well.

    I thought this happened a while ago....but now I'm thinking they just dropped his signature drink a while ago? (Actually, maybe even before the "situation".)
  • Devils Advocate
    He has a few new sponsors on line....

    You are correct about his signature drink being dropped. Gatorade claimed that the move was in the works before all this stuff came out...

  • Devils Advocate
    Cause you're not a Swoosh bag.
  • Fab1b
    oops yeah Nike
  • Upper90
    I don't think there's any way Nike drops him.

    I mean, there are obviously ways, I just don't see it going down.

    Agreed, Tiger basically is Nike Golf.
  • trackandccrunner
    Yeah they got rid of the Tiger Gatorade before this came out. They were pretty good too which sucked when they took them away.
  • WeAreNC
    Great I can drink Gatorade again.

    Lindsey Vonn has my vote! Nobody said they have to be a golfer.
  • ohiotiger33
    ^^^ Lol they probably do to keep Nike Golf afloat.

    I honestly am not surprised about these companies dropping him. The two that are fire-proof are Nike (obvious reasons) and EA (his name is still too good a selling point for the game).
