You probably feel like you’ve seen more of Tiger Woods lately than you ever wanted to see in your life, but one place you weren’t seeing him these last two weeks was on commercials — and you probably won’t be any time soon. Undoubtedly bad news for Tiger, who earns nearly $90 million in contract endorsements with Accenture Plc, Nike, Gatorade, Tag Heuer, Electronic Arts and Gillette. Bloomberg reports
Advertisements featuring [Tiger Woods] have disappeared. The last prime-time ad featuring the golfer was a 30-second Gillette Co. spot on Nov. 29. Woods also was absent from ads on a number of weekend sports programs, including NFL games.
Then Toys R Us went and put his action figures on clearance, and now Gatorade has gone and pulled his drink. TMZ says
Gatorade is shutting down production of their special brand of Tiger Woods brew this month. Gatorade says Tiger Woods Focus Gatorade will conveniently be discontinued as of December 26.
I wouldn’t start stuffing my money in a mattress just yet. There are plenty of new, even bigger endorsement deals out there now that he’s been revealed as a whoremongering alcoholic. Like Trojan brand condoms, for instance. Or that website for married people who want to have affairs, Ashley Madison. Or Pfizer pharmaceuticals, Tiger’s one-stop shop for Ambien, Vicodin and Valtrex. And, of course, my personal favorite, the Fore-Par Golf Clean brand Ball Washer® — because Tiger knows what it’s like to have dirty balls!
