Tag Heuer 'Downscales' Tiger Woods from Ads

Tag Heuer downscales Tiger Woods from ads

Another day, another endorsement lost for Tiger Woods.

Swiss watch maker Tag Heuer says it will no longer use Tiger Woods' image for their ads in the U.S.

On Friday, CEO Jean-Christophe Babin told Swiss daily Le Matin, "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."

Look back at Tiger and Elin during happier times

In a statement to UsMagazine.com, Babin clarifies "the partnership with Tiger Woods will continue." He continued, "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 34-year-old golf pro has also been dropped by Accenture and Gillette since news broke of his reported extramarital affairs with numerous women.

First of all, Tiger you will have to start all over again first you have to admit your you and family to church, you should remember that God is above of all things, second trying hard to say a few words by praying to God our heavenly Father who watches over us in everything we do. Third, make time with your family by doing things together especially with your children. Tiger, You have to put your head up with your faith in God, as a matter of fact that you can even talk to God about your feelings, and then go with the flow just don’t think about your past but look to your future and do what is good for your family. Good luck to you Tiger and your lovely family. The kids are cute.

HAPPY HOLIDAY!!!!

Your fan/Ann

I feel sorry for Tiger. He made some really bad decisions and now he is suffering the consequences. I just hope for his sake that he changes his lifestyle and learns what trust is all about in his marriage.

Compamies and consumers were scammed. All paying $$ for a ruse. He has proven to be an incredible golfer period. Years spent conning consumers into believing they he was someone that could help parents give their kids someone to look up to (not found in all homes & many kids without fathers) My dream was if I did & was good I too could be a person like Peggy Fleming (ice skater). I never became a pro-skater but she gave me hope for years as a kid. Kids really do need good people to look up to. Woods should have just golfed & left it at that & not scammed the companies into believing the ruse they were paying a guy kids could look up to and how they get consumers to turn their $ over. He should return every dollar paid to him for his LIE of a reputation that he was a good golfer and a good man. I hope every company and his wife cancels every contract. He is a good golfer & an even better liar.

Anon, whether you agree with Jessee or not are you so unamerican that the First Amendment is not even mildly considered by you. I love the fact that we are ALL (including you) permitted to have and express our opinions. People only call ‘names’ when they have nothing intelligent left to say. I do not agree with Jessee but good for her for freely expressing her opinion.

It’s not his wife nor his lost of contracts Tiger should be worried about. We live in such a world that morals mean NOTHING to most people…they forget about the ALMIGHTY judge above who has already told us the results of such actions in
1Corinthians 6:9 “What do you not know that unrighteous persons will NOT inherit GODS KINGDOM? Do not be mislead…neither will Adulterers…Neither Fornicators will inherit the Kingdom of God.” That covers Tiger and ALL his so called mistresses. It’s too bad the churches by that I mean the Minsters are NOT dong the job of teaching and applying Moral standards anymore. They are more interested in Money and Self Prestige. “WOE is them”

Those who never made a mistake or failed, please cast the first stone. Lets face it, there is no sin greater than the other. If we take one moment and evaluate our own lives, we will see that we have wronged somebody, too. The only different between Tiger Wood and us is that his mistake is out for the whole world to see. While ours are kept as a secret in our hearts. So I’m hoping for the best for the man. Not because of what he done, but because he seems very sorry for his mistakes. He is already being emotional, mentally, financially punished. So who is we to punish him even more.

Well twinkletoes I guess it’s Tag Heuer’s business if they’re paying the guy millions of dollars every year because of his reputation and suddenly his reputation is stink-o.

12.18.09> 4:20p> Personally, I believe it’s not of anyone’s business that of what is going on with Tiger Woods. I don’t care how many mistresses he’s had or hasn’t had. Just because the guy is famous doesn’t mean that all of a sudden his entire life becomes everyone’s business. And if you do think it’s your business then you’re the one that has a problem. I would give some examples, but it’s not worth the time of day to bother because freedom of speech is taken so far out of context these days, that people don’t even care UNLESS IT’S ABOUT THEM. PUT YOURSELF INPLACE OF A FAMOUS PERSON & SEE HOW YOU’D FEEL!!!
