Nike is just waiting for the other shoe to drop...
Silence really is the only way to deal with this. Tiger is in a hole (literally) and if he opens his mouth, he keeps on digging. Better to keep his mouth shut and wait for the next big news story to come along and push this out of the headlines.
Word is though that most of his contracts are rock solid. He will get paid whether they use his face or not.
Advertisers are forced to make some tough decisions. Think about it. Here comes a young Tiger, out of the ghetto or whatever, and he basically transforms the world of gold from an old-fogie impotent mid-life-crisis white guy sport into a young, virile, diversified place to be.
Then, the SHTF, and Tiger shows himself to be another NBA wannabee, sleeping with 25,000 women (and having a particular penchant for young blonde women, not that that by itself is any kind of racial stereotype), proves his commitment to family, etc are almost nonexistent...
Dude could have set up golf tourneys anywhere in the world if he wanted, especially the countries where his latest squeezes live but NO... he liked the ones working at the local Dennys or whatever.
Great golfer but not way up there in the cerebral category... wrong head doing the thinkin...
All my wife’s golf clubs (employer) sent all the apparel and clubs back to Nike. They are not an isolated example either.
Most of his products were aimed directly at them through EA video games, Wheaties, Nike, Gatorade, etc...
If these sponsors retain him and push his ugly face toward kids, then they are no better than the prostitutes that Roids was having sex with.
You’d think the Trojan company would be offering Tiger big bucks to do commercials.
