They won't leave him. He's a cash cow.
He will just lay low for a few months, until the controvesy is over (who is really going to give a shit in a few months, aside from some virgin nerds?) and then he will be back on them Gillette and Nike adverts in no time.Comment -

Global consulting firm Accenture Ltd. is ending its sponsorship of Tiger Woods, saying the golfer is "no longer the right representative" after the "circumstances of the last two weeks."
Accenture's announcement Sunday marks the company's first statement since allegations of Woods' multiple infidelities surfaced in recent weeks. The move makes Accenture the first sponsor to cut ties altogether with Woods since his marital troubles came to light and since his statement Friday that the 33-year-old is taking an indefinite leave from golf to work on his marriage.
The relationship between Woods and Accenture goes back six years, with the New York-based firm in 2006 crediting its "Go on, be a Tiger" campaign with boosted its image significantly. Accenture has used Woods to personify its claimed attributes of integrity and high performance.
"After careful consideration and analysis, the company has determined that he is no longer the right representative for its advertising," the company said Sunday, adding that "it wishes only the best for Tiger Woods and his family."
Accenture said it will immediately transition to a new advertising campaign, with a major effort scheduled to launch later in 2010.
On Saturday, Gillette, which uses the slogan "The best a man can get," said it won't air advertisements featuring Woods or include him in public appearances for an unspecified amount of time, but didn't say it was terminating their relationship completely. Woods was hired by Gillette in 2007 and has been in ads for Gillette Fusion Power razors with titles like "Phenom" and "Champions" with other stars including tennis great Roger Federer and soccer player Thierry Henry.
Woods' troubles also took another turn, according to a report. Officials from Florida's Department of Children and Families went to the golfer's home Saturday, RadarOnline.com reported, citing an unnamed source.
There has been speculation that a domestic incident may have led to Woods' crash early on Nov. 27 when his SUV hit a fire hydrant and a neighbor's tree as he was leaving his home. Woods has denied those allegations and said his wife Elin was courageous in trying to aid him after he was injured.
"Child abuse, adult investigations in the state of Florida are confidential," agency spokeswoman Carrie Hoeppner told the New York Daily News. "I'm just not able by law to give confirmation about whether we visited the family and that is in the interest of protecting the child."
The couple has been married five years and has a 2-year-old daughter Sam and a 10-month-old son Charlie.
Orange County Sheriff Department's deputies accompanied the family agency officials, RadarOnline.com reported.
"Our deputies met with members of the Department of Children and Families," Capt. Angelo Nieves told the Web site. "But all details are being kept secret."
Despite all the turmoil, other sponsors have continued to stick with Woods for the time being.
Electronic Arts, whose EA Sports division has been selling Tiger Woods video golf games for a decade, said Sunday, "We respect that this is a very difficult, and private, situation for Tiger and his family. At this time, the strategy for our Tiger Woods PGA TOUR business remains unchanged." The game's next edition featuring Woods comes out in six months.
Nike Inc. said late Friday it supports Woods' decision to take time off. Gatorade, a unit of PepsiCo Inc., said previously it supports Woods. AT&T has said it is evaluating its relationship with the golfer. Watch maker Tag Heuer did not return a call Sunday, but its Web site continues to display photos of Woods' wearing the Link and Golf Watch models.Comment -

After his divorce, they will be back. For now, it's best for Tiger and them to all lay low.
Why bother continuing to play and earning endorsement money if more than half will end up with his wife anyway?Comment -
Some people here have mindsets that are far far far far far far far FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR from mainstream USA.
Tiger said he was DEEPLY sorry for what he has done.
Uh huh.
Nothing so far has indicated he was going to voluntarily change his serial cheating ways anytime soon.
The only thing he is DEEPLY sorry about is that it has become public.
He is done and finished in the advertising world.
Looking forward to seeing him on the golf course again since now it will be his main source of income. He will be more brutal than ever.Comment -
He will be fine
Kobe raped a girl and is bigger than everComment -
He will actually get richer after all the hoopla is over. Two words: Kobe and MJ.Comment -
he will not win the Masters anyway, too many good young guys coming in the fold, he won 0 majors last year, and wont break Nichlaus' recordComment -
Financially he will. But psychologically this will be with him for the rest of his life. This is not what he wanted as a part of his legacy.Originally posted by jjgold
People like John Daly and Rasheed Wallace act a certain way on and off the court can better deal with the negative crap that heads their way. Tiger is entering new territory.Comment -
I love all these holier than thou types who are predicting he is finished. Serial cheater? Try serial stud. I'm a woman, and I think this has added a whole new dimension to the seemingly cardboard character he was. He is being lauded as a well endowed, fantastic lover who has unlimited stamina. Can't be that way on roids, so that ends that story, and he has just become fabulously more interesting to a greater number of people.Originally posted by Art VandeleighComment -

He will be back. He did a great job keeping his infidelity from the mainstream media for several years. Maybe he will get a divorce and stay officially single. Then he can ball with as many women as possible and not be "cheating"Comment -
