Tiger Woods has lost many sponsors due to his recent public infidelities with Rachel Uchitel along with other girls. Some of the recent sponsors that decided to drop Tiger Woods are Gatorade, AT&T, Buick, and Accenture. At the time of Wood’s scandal hit the public and he announced that he would be quitting golf indefinitely, his sponsors collectively showed a $12 Billion decrease in their returns. Tiger Wood’s image and honor has been completely obliterated, but he has been laying low and with the help of his remaining sponsors; Tiger will gradually regain his popular and trust-worthy reputation. Nike, EA Sports, and Gillette are the big sponsors that stayed by golfer in the hopes that he can swing his clubs with pristine accuracy. Despite his promise to quit golf and focus on repairing and maintaining his relationship with his wife, Tiger Woods has been getting back into shape to enter some major tournaments in the future. Regardless of the recent scandal, Tiger Woods is one of the greatest golfers with one of the best work-ethics and drive for success; and he will repair his reputation with his family, fans, sponsors, and colleagues.

I think we can all agree that Tiger Woods took way too long to apologize to the public for his actions. Hopefully he didn't take that long to apologize to his wife. Though his actions were disgraceful, sports fans across the world just want to see Tiger on a golf course. We just want him winning and entertaining us. The quicker he gets back out there the better things will get. His wife will either truly forgive him or she won't. Either way, if his marriage lasts, it will never be the same. I'm not sure what Tiger needs to do to regain his wife's trust. Tiger may be worried that he won't be welcomed back into golf; however, i feel sports fans will show him enormous support. Superstar athletes from all major sports have gone through scandals and made comebacks in their sport ( Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriguez, Micheal Vick ).
