Default Looks like Tiger is on his own.

Tag Heuer (sp?) has cancelled Tiger's contract.


I guess we'll see how good he is, and if he can survive on just playing
golf.


I wonder how much a month Elin is going to ask for.


Overall, she'll probably make out better than Tiger.


I hope Tiger doesn't take the death spiral thing. *He's a joy to watch on
the links.

He still has his Nike contract, that alone is a nice living. Tiger
will be just fine as long as he can play golf and win some big ones.


I imagine more people will watch now than before and that is what the
TV sponsors pay for. Tiger did for golf, what Muhammad Ali did for
boxing. They brought it into the mainstream. *Like them or hate them,
people started watching them.


Please. *Boxing and golfing in one sentence is like talking about the
Bolshoi Ballet and a drunken wedding hokey-pokey at once.
Obscene.
Wait. *Said I'm tired of trashing golf.
Sorry.

I've never thought of boxing as a "drunken wedding hokey-pokey".
Interesting.

Golf is a bit like ballet. Far more atheletic than it appear,
requires a fine touch, in reality is difficult to do well, and can be
boring to watch. Good analogy.
