Tiger Woods Dumped by Sponsor

Stocks and Shares - Accenture Dump Tiger Woods

Accenture has announced it has dropped Tiger Woods after the recent revelations concerning his personal life.

Accenture stated that "given the circumstances of the last two weeks ... the company has determined that he is no longer the right representative for its advertising." Despite the fact that he is still really good at hitting a ball around a field with a stick ! Are they nuts ?

Tiger Woods sponsorship arrangement with Accenture had been in place for six years.

Gillette also said on Saturday that it was "limiting" Woods' role in its marketing programs to give him the privacy to work on family relationships.

Woods himself has said that he is taking an "indefinite break" from professional golf.

Tiger Woods is said to have made a billion dollars from golf and sponsorship deals, which to my mind is just one more proof that the world is mad. Paying people millions to knock a ball round the field with a stick is totally crazy when there are people without jobs or people working very hard 50 and 60 hour weeks for very little pay, yet Tiger Woods and many others can become multi-millionaires for keeping people 'amused' and indirectly getting them to buy stuff.

Tiger Woods is described as a 'golf phenomenon' i.e. he is the best the world has ever seen at walking round a field with a stick and hitting a ball in a straight line, truly extraordinary gifts. Why don't they just teach these skills at school instead of all that useless guff about English, Maths, Science etc... ?

"After much soul searching, I have decided to take an indefinite break from professional golf. I need to focus my attention on being a better husband, father and person," Woods said. And to think that just a few short weeks ago his hitting a ball with a stick skills were so amazing he was an international hero and model father. Aaaaghh !
