Tiger Woods has proven himself to be one of the greatest athletes to walk the earth. His winnings have been leading the golfing world for the past 10 years and his sales have been driving the sales industry for the most recent. TW has a net worth of something over 600 million dollars, making him one of the highest paid athletes in 2009 where he made over 100 million dollars. Tiger is better known now for his scandal with his wife. Tiger was discovered when he and his wife were found at the early hours up to some very shady business backing out of their drive way.
Tiger has been involved with more that 11 mistresses in the most recent report and allegedly paid them off in a sum of over 300 million dollars. In early 2009 Tiger was thought to be the ideal athlete. A well-respected golfer is always a friend with the world. His charitable work was well noticed in the industry and his skill far beyond anyone else. But what was not seen was the crazy sex life that he was living behind the cameras. Franco spoke a lot about how we relate celebrities to ourselves.
With Tiger affecting so many people and so many children looking up to him it is very difficult to see where the golf industry is headed. It is interesting to see how a single person could have so much power over an entire sports industry but there is no other way to describe his control over this world. It is easy to e how Accenture as well as many of his other top sponsors have dropped their contracts. Tiger is no longer viewed as someone to look up to, he has proven to be a liar to the world and although nothing very legitimate has been proven he has admitted to his illegal actions.
A minority has come so far in an industry that has been reserved for the wealthy and successful for the longest time. Golf is an industry that is not suitable nevertheless affordable for the lower class workers and Tiger Woods has claimed ownership to that industry. He has his own clothing line, line of clubs and even his own brand symbol. No more for Tiger, the world knows what he is really about and now it is uncertain to what he is going to be worth to us. There has been little comfort in helping this minority voice his opinion because there have been little facts proving his innocence.
