Tiger Woods' fall from grace was breathtakingly sharp, and was felt
keenly in the sporting arena.
However, those who really lost out because of the scandal (besides his wife
and children) were his major sponsors who, according to the latest reports, saw
a loss of £8 billion overall.
Economists say that the golfing legend's extramarital affairs wiped out
billions off the market value of his main sponsors, including Accenture, AT&T,
Gillette and Nike.
So with such a track record, and with not even his wife wanting him back
(according to the latest speculations), which company would dare to sponsor
Tiger Woods if and when he returns to the golfing circuit?
Paddy Power, the leading UK sports betting group, is taking bets on the
future Tiger Woods sponsor, with top odds of 4/1 that Ambien prescription
sleeping aid drug brand will back the man.
Readers should be reminded that not-so-secret conversations between one of
Woods' many mistresses and her friends revealed that the pro liked to spice up
their raunchy rendezvous while using the drug.
Odds on other future potential Tiger Woods sponsors are as follows:
- John Player 6/1
- Red Bull 8/1
- Autoglass 8/1
- Playboy 10/1
Far off odds include:
- Readers Wives 50/1
- Spearmint Rhino 100/1
- Fire Service 500/1
