Tiger Woods has one less endorsement deal, ending his 13-year relationship with golf's biggest magazine when they couldn't agree on how many hours he should devote to the job.
Golf Digest, with a circulation of 1.65 million, announced Thursday the mutual end of a relationship that began at the 1997 Masters. He made his debut in the magazine in June that year, and the endorsement had been his second-longest, behind Nike. "We appreciate the insights Tiger has provided to our readers," Jerry Tarde, chairman and editor-in-chief of the publication, said in a statement. Woods' articles mainly were instructional tips.
Golf Digest never disclosed terms of the deal, although it was believed to be among the smallest financially for Woods – no more than $2 million a year. The value came from exposure, along with some content provided for Woods' website.
"The reality is his deal was up at the end of the year," said Mark Steinberg, his agent at IMG. "Because we're living in this digital world, they needed more time from him. He wasn't ready to commit to any additional time at this point with everything going on – trying to work on his swing and other things."
The announcement comes two weeks after Gillette said it would not renew its contract, which expired at the end of 2010. That brings to five the number of endorsements Woods has lost since he was caught in extramarital affairs. The other three are Accenture, AT&T and Gatorade.
Golf Digest put his column on hold last February while Woods took time off to sort out his personal life, resuming the column in September.
Woods' last column will be in the February issue, an indication that both sides had been negotiating a new deal.
Other playing editors at Golf Digest include Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Phil Mickelson.
"I enjoyed my relationship with Golf Digest," Woods said in a statement released by the magazine. "But we have decided it's now time for a break. I wish my friends at Golf Digest continued success."
Six years ago, Elin Nordegren married Tiger Woods. They got married on October 5, 2004, which didn't dissuade Tiger in any way from banging tons of random whores, pornstars, sluts, professional mistress and cocktail waitresses before, during, and since. During that time, Elin sat at home, look pretty, got impregnated twice, and clapped on the golf course. So today they met in a courtroom in Panama City, Florida, to finalize their divorce and she is now at least $100 million richer.RadarOnline report:
It was ice cold between Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren at the courthouse as the couple finalized their divorce on Monday. “Tiger was sitting down when Elin walked in the room,” a source told RadarOnline.com. “Publicly they didn’t say a word to each other." “They didn’t even look at each other.”At approximately 3 p.m. ET Elin was heading back to her Orlando-area home. She was subdued after the divorce was finalized in Bay County Circuit Court in Panama City, Florida. The couple lives in Orange County. In Florida a couple is allowed to file for divorce outside of the county where they reside. Tiger and Elin married October 5, 2004. The divorce petition says the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” The divorce papers reveal that Tiger and Elin reached a settlement on July 3 and 4th. The Martial Settlement Agreement they signed also includes a parenting plan.
The financial terms were not disclosed, and past reports have been all over the place, claiming her deal will range anywhere from 100 million to 750 million. Tiger marrying Elin might go down as one of the biggest blunders of all time. Just think about it, he could have been a richer version of Derek Jeter, fighting off blowjobs everyday of his life but no, he just had to go and get married. Now he has an ex-wife who he will have to write the biggest check in his life to and two kids that will most certainly grow up to hate him. ESPN report:
"Tiger Woods and his Swedish-born wife officially divorced Monday, nine months after his middle-of-the night car crash outside their home set off shocking revelations that the world's most famous athlete had been cheating on her through multiple affairs....
The lawyers for Woods and Elin Nordegren said in a statement that the divorce became official Monday in Bay County Circuit Court. Terms of the divorce were not disclosed, except that they will share parenting of their two children, ages 3 and 1."
Reporters tried to talk to Elin Nordegren after the divorce proceedings, but she was unavailable for comment due to the fact that she was dancing on top of a car throwing diamonds into the crowd and doing that thing with her hands where she pretends to make it rain. Ever the emotionless robot, Tiger posted this statement on his website:
"We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future. While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us. Once we came to the decision that our marriage was at an end, the primary focus of our amicable discussions has been to ensure their future well-being. The weeks and months ahead will not be easy for them as we adjust to a new family situation, which is why our privacy must be a principal concern."
Then after that it says, “Ms. Nordegren was represented by…”, and lists a bunch of law firms. It’s really touching. And Tiger was represented by his long time general counsel, just like at the ending of a fairy tale. Anyway, apparently Elin Nordegrens' divorce to Tiger Wood became official today. Oh really? I didn't even know they were having problems. LOL... Now Tiger can have all the whore pussy his heart desire.Click on pictures to enlarge.
