Wow. That was an egregious mistake and oversight on my part. It has been corrected.

I'm sure Tiger's women have seen that facial expression before...

i guess it would've been inappropriate if we superimposed his face onto one wearing less clothes?

From Tag Heuer, one his sponsors:

Swiss watch maker Tag Heuer said Monday it will continue its association with Tiger Woods despite the golfer's alleged infidelities.

Company spokeswoman Mariam Sylla said the sponsorship is unchanged because Woods remains the world's best golfer and Tag Heuer does not care about his private life.

"We will continue," Sylla told The Associated Press. "He's the best in his domain.

"We respect his performance in the sport," she said, adding that Woods' personal life is "not our business."

But on a more serious note I think you're going a lil Chicken Little on Tiger. The Sky is not falling. Ultimately, the public will forgive him if he's contrite in some sort of a personal apology (and not a polished statement posted on his website) and if he wins.

If Tiger comes back and starts winning tournaments and donning on new Green Jackets and winning majors again, he will be forgiven. Sure there will be the occasional heckler or blogger or even member of the established media that will bring up this entire incident, but for the most part the public will move on.

Michael Vick went to jail and PETA protesters were picketing anything Vick. There seemed no way a NFL team would sign him. Well, he did.

Kobe Bryant was on trial for rape. Some sponsors dropped him quickly and made judgments. The post-scandal Kobe is still married, won an MVP, and a title without Shaq. And he's rehabbed his image (somewhat).

Will the PGA suffer in his absence? No doubt about it. But as a silver lining, maybe this will prepare the PGA for the post-Tiger era when he finally does retire. They'll learn to diversify their marketing and not put all their eggs in one basket. And the Tour did fine when Tiger missed half the year after hurting his leg.

Think of this as Tiger's career equivalent to Michael Jordan playing baseball.

BTW, did you read Simmons' article about this from Friday. I love the idea of him turning heel, growing an NWO beard and hooking up with every under 25 Hollywood starlet/singer/groupie after divorcing his wife. That would be compelling. And his new sponsors could be Trojan Condoms.
