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.


I think he will do well from here on out. He should be able to budget his
winnings and live on what Elin leaves him. I just hope he doesn't do
something stupid.

I bet he ends up having to come back to keep up the funds. If he has to
do it on golf alone, and no sponsors (which I doubt) he may not be able
to stay focused enough to win enough to "live" on..
