ed, you're kidding me. Nike Golf is synonymous with Tiger Woods. They'll never get someone else to replace him. The whole franchise would collapse.

This Tiger mess is bad. Really bad. The guys who golf have wives who will not look too kindly on a Tiger sponsor. And you've got guys like Jesper, the Swedish golfer who introduced Tiger to Elin, who are furious. Besides, people don't like to be fooled and Tiger fooled all of us. That taints any product he supports. I think in the end he will lose Nike Golf......they will find a suitable replacement.

EA Sports will continue making games with Tiger Woods' name on it. That's also a franchise that would collapse without the name. Kind of like Madden. No other name would sell golf video games more than Tiger. (Anthony Kim PGA Tour 2010 just doesn't have the same ring to it.)

Golf is just one of their many sports games and really how many kids are into golf?

Why do you think Accenture would dump Tiger? He's still one of the most driven golf players on the circuit, which fits the Accenture message.

Because the Tiger name is tainted......he looks like a horses's ass, not a successful golf pro and businessman.

Anyway, if you want to bet on all this, I'm game. ;-)

Not really. I am just amused by the whole thing. Its not often you get a guy like Tiger turning his life into a train wreck. What the hell was he thinking? He's too nerdy to be a player!

And in two years when the prenup term is over, his wife will leave him.
