Tiger Woods who admitted to his infidelity via an official statement yesterday announced that he would be taking an indefinite break from golf - however, that is not the case with his major sponsors such as Nike and Gillette.
Gillette announced that "Tiger is still part of Gillette,'' spokesman Mike Nortan said. He continued: " We support him as he takes a break from his professional career and that's why we're supporting him by limiting his role in our marketing programs." Nortan added: "The exposure of Tiger in the ads will be limited but beyond that, if he was the focus of the ad, then we won't be using that ad."
Nike also issued a statement of support, saying: "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," the sportswear and equipment supplier tells Usmagazine.com in a statement. "He and his family have Nike's full support."

rename Tiger
new name CHEATAAAAAAA
Tiger has such an influence on so many people in this world! I think the best thing that Tiger needs, is the Lord! If he had Christ in his life this would solve his life, and what a witness he would be for the Lord and his glory! I hope & pray that he gets saved and finds the Lord!
Get a life Frog - give Tiger some privacy and respect, just as you would no doubt want in his situation. I suppose you are perfect......
