| 838155 | 2009-12-09 17:53:00 | And so it begins . ( . bbc . co . uk/2/hi/business/8403418 . stm" target="_blank">news . bbc . co . uk) Soft drink brand Gatorade says it is to drop a Tiger Woods-endorsed product but said it was not related to revelations about the golfer's private life . PepsiCo-owned Gatorade said the decision to axe the Tiger Focus drink was made a few months ago . Since the 14-times major winner crashed his car on 27 November, many women have claimed to have had affairs with Woods . There are also reports that adverts featuring Woods have vanished from US prime-time broadcast and cable TV . We decided several months ago to discontinue Gatorade Tiger Focus along with some other products to make room for our planned series of innovative products in 2010 ~ PepsiCo statement According to data from US media research firm Nielsen, the last prime-time advert featuring the 33-year-old golfer was a 30-second Gillette item on 29 November . Another quote said: "Gatorade's website describes Gatorade Tiger Focus to be a drink "designed with athletes in mind, helping them to be as mentally tough as they are physically" - and I wonder just what they consider to be athletic in nature . |

| 838158 | 2009-12-09 20:20:00 | Actually his fortune lies in FUTURES and earnings from contractual sponsorships . There are escape causes for "untoward behavior and acts of civil disobedience" that will nullify those contracts - you can bet the attorneys are looking deeply into the loopholes of that too . He isn't really living hand-to-mouth, but this will put a crease in his knickers (and his 401K and retirement plans especially if she gets 50% of it all! BTW: She will! |
