I am probably wrong, but this was probably his biggest sponsor.

Is it really even going to matter? I'd imagine he has enough bank the way it is already.

I thought this happened a while ago....but now I'm thinking they just dropped his signature drink a while ago? (Actually, maybe even before the "situation".)

You are correct about his signature drink being dropped. Gatorade claimed that the move was in the works before all this stuff came out...

I don't think there's any way Nike drops him.

I mean, there are obviously ways, I just don't see it going down.

Yeah they got rid of the Tiger Gatorade before this came out. They were pretty good too which sucked when they took them away.

^^^ Lol they probably do to keep Nike Golf afloat.

I honestly am not surprised about these companies dropping him. The two that are fire-proof are Nike (obvious reasons) and EA (his name is still too good a selling point for the game).
