They had two choices: Throw away millions already invested in the line of clubs or go on without Eldrick as a pitchman and hope to recoup anywhere near as much as their original estimates were. Not really a "bold move"...

It is bold in the sense that you are now hoping the OTHERS in this campaign can help carry the load. You are sending in guys with knives to a gun fight....
Oh man. That Clinic is mean and cruel . They give you playboys with all the photos ripped out. They force you to watch the movie Deliverance. They make you sponge bath old people.
I'm not saying it doesn't work , I'm just saying it's cruel.

Why? I thought you guys thought this was all a farse...? By the way, please provide WHERE you got this from?
Nah, it's strictly financial. Do you throw money away, or try to get some back?? That's easy.
A "bold move" would have been if the early decision and process to create this line of clubs was made after Eldrick's transgressions came to light.
You do not think it's risky to start game one of the World Series with someone else instead of the best pitcher in ALL of baseball that year? HOW is this any different?
I have no idea what you are trying to say about the World Series, and I won't even try to figure it out. I can't believe I have to go into this kind of detail, it's actually pretty simple.
It's obvious that the corporate decisions and design and manufacture of this line of clubs was started BEFORE Eldrick's transgressions came to light. Because of that millions of dollars had already been spent, and most likely a majority of the stock was already complete. Whether or not they started planning the marketing campaign before or after the merde hit the fan is not important.
They only had two decisions to make:
a.) Shelve that line of clubs and take the huge loss
or
b.) Move on with the marketing without using Eldrick as the key pitchman and hope to be successful with it
Nike is one of the few Woods' sponsors who is sort of standing by him at the moment. They haven't dropped him altogether, but they aren't featuring him in any current advertising either. This fact combined with the investment they already have in him makes option b the obvious choice for them to make. It doesn't classify it as a "bold move", it's strictly a financial one.
Maybe your version of bold is different from mine. It's bold because they are not using their ACE....YOU may not think of going ahead with a huge investment WITHOUT your best guy on is bold...I think it is.
Again, in the pinch, you want your #1 guy...they are going ahead without him...ANYWAY you look at it....it's a financial decision...but IF this move does NOT pan out...that SOMEONE who said they could go ahed with it....his/her ass is on the line.
Tiger is going to need some new sponsors when he gets out of rehab. Do they still make WANG computers?
LMAO!! For what??!! He can COMPLETELY stop earning RIGHT NOW and still have MORE money than ALL the regulars here in Sports Chat make COMBINED...!!
That was another joke. They don't make Wang Computers anymore.LMAO!! For what??!! He can COMPLETELY stop earning RIGHT NOW and still have MORE money than ALL the regulars here in Sports Chat make COMBINED...!!
I think this is one of those times when the discussion itself is more entertaining than the subject...

See....THAT tells me he is joking...
The better comparison is what does a world series team do when it's best pitcher is not available for game one, no matter how good he is. Do you forfeit the series, or throw out your number two and hope for the best?
Nike is avoiding a forfeit and hoping for the best. It's the only choice they have.

Hey, just ask my mistress!
As if we just couldn't get enough Tiger drama. Even MORE news is still leaking out. This time saying Tiger used his #1 mistress to try and convince Elin he wasn't cheating. This bizarre half hour chat between Elin and Rachel Uchitel happened on Thanksgiving Eve. Oh how I would've love to hear that convo....
Further in this story is the real account on the other happenings of the night, (including incriminating text messages by Tiger). Most of the details we speculated turns out to be close to the truth. Check it out. Good read....

Obvioulsy his wife has a temper and can't keep her hands to herself. Not only that why go to jail or have a label as a woman beater. Actually this was one of Tigers better decisions!:up
