Tiger Woods - Car Accident Report

[SGH]

Nike is far bigger than Tiger. And is far bigger than golf as well. This won't be good for them, but I doubt there will be any material consequences.

They still have LeBron, Federer/Nadal, Jeter, Tom Brady, and a near endless list of others to carry their brand.

Reports are poping up that Tiger is going to be cited for Careless driving, and issued a ticket. Other sites (TMZ) are touting this as "charges are coming". A news conference is apperently schedule for 3:00 p.m. by the Florida Highway Patrol.

So, if all of the speculation from the Net (including this thread) is true, we should also expect the FHP to find Tiger responsible for or guilty of:

• Adultery
• Assault
• Withholding evidence
• Obstruction of Justice
• Criminal mischief
• Resisting arrest without violence
• Driving under the influence
• The Kennedy assassination
• Michael Jackson's death
• Pearl Harbour
• 911
• Causing the economic down-turn
• Jean van der Velde's British Open melt down
• Phil's bad decision making

I think that pretty much covers everything that I've heard Tiger accused of in the past 4 days........

You forgot his most egregious sins: failing to take advice from web posters, and donning black socks while wearing shorts.

And thats just their N American individual contracts. They have many many high profile international players and teams including France and England National Rugby Teams, a huge presence in marathon running and Track and Field and a huge presence in the mammoth market of Soccer, including Man Utd, Arsenal, Barcelona, Juventus etc etc etc and probably the biggest of all, kit suppliers to the Brazil National Team.

I would speculate that Golf is a TINY percentage of their revenue worldwide BUT their golf product is totally associated with Tiger Woods, despite the succes of Kim, Cink, Casey etc.
