The first major sponsor has dropped Tiger Woods, Accenture.
“After careful consideration and analysis, the company has determined that he is no longer the right representative for its advertising.”
We’ll see if this marks the opening of the flood gates.
So much of this stuff coming from the UK tabloids has to be BS. Here’s a quote from Jamie Junger, a bubbly little “model” from Vegas, right?
“We went to sleep. I was beside him wearing nothing but a pair of panties. Then at about 3am the phone rang. It was Tiger’s mum.”
Here in the USA we don’t call our mothers “mum.” We call them “mother” or “mom.” Some bleach blond bimbo from Vegas doesn’t say “mum.”
There are so many of these types of quotes it is insane.
Just great. The first year ever in which I have Masters tickets, this happens…
There were some rumors floating around yesterday that Tiger might be announcing a break from golf or that he was quitting completely. There were also rumors that “Privacy,” Tiger’s yacht, was being fueled and loaded with supplies. I guess we know a little more now. Tiger is leaving golf for an indefinite period of time. I bet I know where the “safe haven” mentioned below is. Tiger’s home in the Bahamas.
As have been all of Tiger’s official statements, this one came from his web site and is very short and very vague:
I am deeply aware of the disappointment and hurt that my infidelity has caused to so many people, most of all my wife and children. I want to say again to everyone that I am profoundly sorry and that I ask forgiveness. It may not be possible to repair the damage I’ve done, but I want to do my best to try.
I would like to ask everyone, including my fans, the good people at my foundation, business partners, the PGA Tour, and my fellow competitors, for their understanding. What’s most important now is that my family has the time, privacy, and safe haven we will need for personal healing.
After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father, and person.
Again, I ask for privacy for my family and I am especially grateful for all those who have offered compassion and concern during this difficult period.
John Daly is speaking out against a few of the other players who have been critical of Tiger, though based on the last post we don’t know how many of those quotes are actually true at this point.
This is a great quote though:
“Golf needs him. Because of Tiger is why we’re playing for so much money.” ~John Daly
