While it is true that "nothing has been proven", there is enough out there that hasn't been denied by Tiger Woods, presumably to Tag Heuer privately as well, to indicate a real problem. After all, this was clearly neither a one time fling nor the tragedy of falling out of love and falling in love with someone else. Of course neither of these would be "OK", but they would at least be less reprehensible (and somewhat more understandable) than the emerging picture of a cad with a girl on every golf course. Clearly Mr. Woods has a serious and previously unrevealed character flaw, but to his credit (and unlike some politicians I could name), he appears to possess the decency to be ashamed of himself... after he got caught.

Whilst I do not think I have ever said to myself, "I'll buy a Tag cos Woods is on the advert" there are definite subtle mechanics at play. I think more than anything celebrity endorsements help a company position a brand in a certain way. Perhaps that is why Nike is sticking with him because he still is the world's most successful sportsperson and that's all Nike cares about? Disagree entirely TPJ23.

Can anyone tell me they purchased a TH because TW appears in an ad campaign? Any celebrity endorsements are a complete waste of money.

Nothing has been proven. Dropped like a sack of potatoes. What I want to know is why Nike are so firm in their support of Tiger and the other brands so quick to drop him?

What I want to know is why Nike are so firm in their support of Tiger and the other brands so quick to drop him?
