While Accenture was the first sponsor to drop Tiger Woods, Nike and Tag Heuer had voiced their support for the legendary golfer, but now, Tag Heuer has decided to drop Woods from their advertisement campaigns.
Tag Heuer had previously said in a statement: "Over the coming weeks, Tag Heuer will assess its options with regard to its long-term relationship with Tiger Woods and IMG." The CEO Jean-Christophe Babin told Swiss daily Le Matin, according to the NY Daily News: "We recognize Tiger Woods as a great sportsman but we have to take account of the sensitivity of some consumers in relation to recent events."
Nike is standing by Woods. A spokesman for Nike said in a statement: "Tiger has been part of Nike for more than a decade. He is the best golfer in the world and one of the greatest athletes of his era. We look forward to his return to golf. He and his family have Nike's full support."

Elin should dump Tiger, then he can join Amway along with his "girlfriends", as they also screw anything that moves. Amway is a scam, and here's why: Amway pays out as little money as they can get away with, so they support the higher level IBOs ripping off their downline via the tool scam. As a result, about 99% of IBOs operate at a net loss, while the top 1% make several TIMES more from their Amway tool scam than from the Amway products. Read about it on my blog, I suggest you start here: Google "Amway the rest of the story" and forward the information to everyone you know, so they don't get scammed.
