updated 1 hour, 1 minute ago "NEW YORK - Swiss watch maker Tag Heuersaid it will spend the next few weeks assessing its relationship with golfer Tiger Woods. The statement from the company Monday afternoon marked a less enthusiastic stance about the world's richest athlete, who endorses the company's watches, than earlier in the day. That's when a spokeswoman told The Associated Press the company would continue with Woods, whom she called "the best in his domain." The luxury watchmaker's new statement Monday says that because of Woods' indefinite leave from golf, it is examining its long-term relationship with him."

I think it is both, a friend of mine dated a tour regular for a couple years, I got to hang out with a few of them....like the commercial "These Guys are Good", it should be "These Guys Can Party"  |

Yep, Tiger can do what he want with his "club". He can even be gay: I don't really care... Another woman will be a millionaire after the divorce Tag-Heuer should maybe focus on car-racers like the old time... |

I've told my golf foursome many times in the past 2 yrs that Tiger is juiced. If you look at his pictures over the past few yrs you will see him blow up and now he's deflated after his knee operation....His arms never matched his body....Lucky guess???? We'll see..... |

Quite frankly, I've met Tiger, exchanged a few words with him and can tell you from personal experience that he is an arrogant POS!...I then refused to play in a foursome with him and chose Scott Hoch instead...a real gentleman! |

Sounds like these sponsorships are less about talent and more about fame. In that case, I think I'm pretty famous. Now I just need a couple million more to agree, and I can hawk sneakers and sport watches for a couple jillion. Oh, wait, is Tiger Woods ability to play golf based on his ability to hide his personal affairs? Seems as if Tag Heaur is less about fine timepieces and more about troublesome infidelity. After all, if they DON'T drop Tiger Wood, then I will NEVER buy a Tag. |

Tiger Woods Dropped From Tag Heuer Ads CEO of Swiss Watch Maker Says "Recent Events" Involving Woods Led to Decision (CBS/AP) Updated at 3:05 p.m. Eastern time Swiss watch maker Tag Heuer says it will not use Tiger Woods' image in advertising campaigns in the United States for the foreseeable future. Tag Heuer CEO Jean-Christophe Babin told Swiss daily Le Matin on Friday that the company was reacting to "recent events" surrounding the golfer. "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," Babin was quoted saying. Woods has taken an indefinite leave from golf to work on repairing his marriage after numerous allegations of infidelities. The watch maker released a statement to CBS News after Le Matin's story was published Friday. “The partnership with Tiger Woods will continue,” Babin said in the statement, “but we will downscale the use of his image in certain markets for a period of time, depending on his decision about returning to professional golf." The newspaper said Tag Heuer will continue to support Woods' charitable foundation but will use other brand ambassadors in U.S. ads, including actor Leonardo Di Caprio. The statement said Tag Heuer will continue to support Woods' charitable foundation but will use other brand ambassadors in U.S. ads, including actor Leonardo Di Caprio. The watch maker could not immediately be reached for comment because the story was released on the newspaper's Web site after Tag Heuer's headquarters at La Chaux-de-Fonds closed for the holidays until Jan. 4. The full interview was to be published in Saturday's editions of Le Matin. Tag Heuer joins other sponsors in backing away from Woods as his image has taken a beating since a Thanksgiving holiday car accident at the golfer's Florida home was followed by an admission of extramarital "transgressions." Consulting firm Accenture dropped him as its representative last weekend, and Gillette said it would stop airing his ads for their razors. Tag Heuer initially said Monday it would stand by Woods, but moderated its support later that day by saying it would assess its relationship with the world's highest-earning athlete. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/12/18/sportsline/main5996248.shtml?tag=stack |
