Considering their slogan, that's pretty much a no-brainer:

I kinda like the idea of a commercial with Tiger’s wife drowning him with a bucket of Gatorade.

I was thinking they might bring back the "Get a Tiger in your Tank" slogan. Guess not.

All of his big sponsors will drop him like a bad habit. One at a time..

Some here refused to believe it a few months ago.

Who wants to be represented by a lying cheater?

kind of a no brainer.

Just for the sake of it let’s leave out the rounds he had with the whores. Why would any company have this guy endorsing their products it he ain't playing golf?
