Tiger Woods Takes Indefinite Break from Golf to be with Family

On Friday, Tiger Woods announced his intention to step back from the game of golf.  He (Woods) released a statement on his website saying “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.” Full Article

The target of major media scrutiny since the car accident and accusations of infidelity, Woods is now in the situation where his sponsors are cutting bait. Earlier in the week, Gatorade axed the Tiger brand sports drink.  Gillette is also “limiting his role in our marketing”. TAG Heuer has ordered stores in Australia to remove advertising posters that featured Woods.

Despite all this, Tiger’s long standing relationships with Nike, EA Sports and AT&T will not change for the moment. Source
