Affected his Emotions

Affected his Endorsements Tiger Woods has never shanked a drive this badly in his life. First, Tiger was challenged by the outlandish accusations of the National Enquirer, then came the suspicious single-car accident early on Friday morning, and now reports in US Weekly of another affair have put Tiger in some of the deepest rough he has ever stumbled upon. The last encounter proved to be the tipping point for Woods, who released another statement this afternoon. In light of his most recent comments, in which he apologized to his family for any wrongdoings, one must begin to wonder if the lucrative sponsorship deals that made him the world's first athlete to amass $1 billion will be affected by the drama of this situation. We saw Nike drop Kobe Bryant for being unfaithful and Michael Vick for going Cujo on on some dogs. We saw Michael Phelps lose his deal with Kellogg's after going one toke over the line. But there was hard evidence in each of those cases. So much for that whole "scandal-free" thing.

The Overlooked Victims of the Tiger Woods Scandal Two people have been overlooked in the middle of the Tiger Woods scandal. The consequences of his actions upon their lives will only be seen years down the road. Of course, I am referring to his children. Family breakdown is not limited to celebrities or the rich and famous. Growing up in a middle-class home where there were nine divorces between my mother, father and step-father, I sat front row and center and watched addiction, discord and conflict tear my family apart. My parents were separated when I was three and divorced when I was nine, and my mom remarried someone 32 years older than her. My dad made ends meet as a bartender for more than 50 years, and my mom struggled with alcoholism. My story may seem to be an extreme example of family dysfunction, but it's not unique. Clearly, tens of millions of U.S. households endure the pain of family dysfunction. In Exodus 20:5, God sees the destructive patterns that parents inadvertently pass on to their children.

Peter Moore says Tiger Woods Scandal hasn't Affected Sales Following Tiger Woods's media-saturating infidelity scandal, a lot of the golfer's sponsors ended their relationship with him -- but not EA Sports. They made a very public decision to stick with the athlete who's been the cover star of their golf game franchise since 1999, and in an interview with CNBC, president Peter Moore says they haven't seen any affect to sales as a result. "We've looked actually at the overall franchise for calendar year 2008 and 2009 and are slightly up when we look at all platforms for the Tiger franchise," Moore said. "Despite what has gone on in his personal life, we've seen no negative impact on sales." This is, however, potentially a bit misleading. Still, Moore reiterated their position regarding Tiger Woods, saying that they "stand by Tiger as an athlete" and that "we still see him obviously as the world's greatest golfer and continue to stand by him as such."

Tiger Woods Must Face His Fans' Moral Outrage To borrow a timely euphemism, athletes "transgress" so often that when it comes time to calculate the damage, the candor of the confession usually trumps the severity of the sin. Tiger Woods shanked his apology, waiting several excruciating days to state that he had "let his family down" and was "far short of perfect." Alleged mistresses are popping up to dish details of late-night trysts, fans are aghast and the pitchfork-wielding pundits are bloodying their former hero with barely concealed glee. But instead of demonizing a star who was worshipped by millions, it's worth pausing to consider why so many people feel let down by his behavior. Groomed for greatness from infancy, Woods is the rare phenom to fulfill his promise. Woods missed a real chance to cushion his fall. That same success is the key to his resurrection. Right now it may be hard to muster much sympathy for Tiger, who could comfortably bandage his wounds in $100 bills and still have a few hundred million to spare.

» Tiger Woods sex scandal Tiger Woods’ swing coach resigns Posted by Anthony Stalter (05/11/2010 @ 1:00 pm) According to a report by Golf.com, Tiger Woods’ swing coach Hank Haney has decided to resign. Haney, who has coached Woods since 2004, has come under criticism during Woods’s recent struggles on the course. NBC commentator Johnny Miller said last week that Woods “should forget the Hank Haney stuff. I don’t follow golf closely enough to chime in about whether or not Tiger’s game has fallen apart since Haney started coaching him. If Haney wasn’t doing a good job, I assume Woods would have fired him by now.

Tiger Woods, Wife Elin Nordegren Woods: PRENUP Negotiations (PHOTOS) It did not take long after Tiger Woods issued a public apology for unspecified "transgressions" that rumors began to swirl about the financial negotiations between Woods and his wife, Elin Nordegren Woods. First, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Woods was paying his wife "a hefty seven-figure amount" to stay with him. The article also said that a new prenuptial agreement is in the works. Today, Gerald Posner of the Daily Beast writes that Woods will likely soon pay his wife $5 million and that the prenup could ultimately fetch her $55 million after two years. Other financial dealings have been rumored as well. It also remains unclear what will happen with Woods' two other alleged mistresses.

Affected his Wife Tiger Woods reportedly offered up to $80 million in order to keep his wife, Elin Nordegren, from leaving him. Tiger Woods is finding out the hard way that "I'm sorry" is not enough. After publicly apologizing for his "transgressions," the golfing great reportedly offered to give his wife, Elin Nordegren, a cool $5 million to keep her from walking - and taking their two young kids with her.

Tiger Woods Scandal Two Years Later: Fan Take - Golf It's been two long years since Tiger Woods and his life changed forever. It was Nov. 27, 2009, that Woods crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant outside his home in Florida. Two days earlier, a National Enquirer story broke about Woods cheating on his wife. It turns out the story was true. In the months following his wreck, the golf world was stunned by Woods's forced sabbatical as he tried to get his personal life in order. His personal failures showed up on the golf course. It's now two years later and his healing is still happening. Woods still has a long way to go but that's okay. One important thing for Woods and his fans to remember is that there is more to life than golf. It is hard to imagine the younger Woods doing anything other than playing golf. When Woods heals that aspect of his life, the golf game will come around. William Browning has covered sports for the Yahoo! Note: This article was written by a Yahoo!

Tiger Woods Scandal: What Next for His Wife, Sponsors? Tiger Woods really needs his wife. And his A game. That's the opinion of experts in the art of getting people through media crises like the one the golf champ faces after his single-car crash led to a multiwoman pileup of infidelity allegations. If Woods can persuade his wife Elin Nordegren not only to stick by him, but also to say in the presence of a large media outlet or two that she has forgiven her imperfect husband and that everyone else should feel free to do likewise, then resurrecting his image is easier than nine holes of putt-putt. Her being in the room while he makes a statement of contrition (see playbooks by Spitzer, Silda, or Bryant, Vanessa) is a close second. The quicker this can be done, the better. "What Tiger and his advisers have managed to do so far is make this a much bigger story," says Michael Sitrick, CEO of the crisis-management firm Sitrick & Co. But Woods is equally ill suited to the kind of kimono-opening demanded by this approach.

Afftected his Family The squeaky clean image of Tiger Woods may have taken a battering but his multi-million dollar brand is unlikely to suffer any long-term damage, a Melbourne marketing expert says. RMIT senior advertising lecturer Bradley Wilson said whether or not Woods' appeal survives the current scandals will depend on what further allegations are aired and when they stop. The golfing great was forced into admitting "transgressions" and "personal sins" against his wife and family this week as rumours of affairs with three different women surfaced following a car accident in his driveway. Woods has denied intense speculation that the accident followed a row with his wife, Elin Nordegren, over an alleged tryst with nightclub hostess Rachel Uchitel. Advertisement Brands including Nike, Gatorade and Gillette, which pay Woods millions in endorsements, have so far stuck by him and issued statements of support. Mr Wilson said Woods was one of, if not the ultimate, sporting "sponsorship property" in the world.
