As I had said in an earlier post, it would have been easy for Tiger's sponsors to stick with him if there was just one or two isolated incidents. But now that 9-10 affairs have come out and all these uglies details have come out, it's going to be very hard for these sponsors to stick with him. Why would they stick with him? His name is "dirt" right now.

Anyway, none of the sponsors have officially dropped him yet but there are some early signs that it may happen soon. This Bloomberg article says that marketers have pulled all Tiger Woods' ads from prime-time television. I think it's just a matter of time before all of his sponsors start dropping him, one by one.

I think that any of these sponsors are free to terminate his contract at any time because practically all of these endorsement deals have clauses in the contract stating that the contract can be terminated by the company if the person engages in any type of inappropriate behavior.

Morals clauses... In this economy I'd be looking for an out if I had him.. This may be the most expensive tail in history.

If they all dump him, he's going to take about a 90% pay cut. That translates to around $90 million a year that he will have cost himself.

Is this some sort of admission? Are you woman #10? Wow! This would be the biggest thing around Nerdy Trail, since the Big Contest of '08.
