Did you know that TAG Heuer, the Swiss watchmaker owned by LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, ended its endorsement agreement with Tiger Woods due to the admission of his marriage infidelity, etc etc (which happened in the fall of 2009) and that in the fall of 2011 (exactly 2 years later) Tiger Woods signed on with Rolex, his first major sponsorship deal since the scandal?

Did you know that?????

More trivia to come............stay tuned ! ! ! !

Yep...A hot debated topic here on TRF with more than one thread pertaining to the subject!

Most ending up closed...

FeelingTheBlues · 30 August 2012, 01:44 PM

It has been discussed many times around here and threads never stayed around here for a long time Linda, this subject often ends up in arguments.

EDIT: Good grief Rob, you beat me to it!

Oh well, I might as well say that I knew this one. Next!

Yes. He not only lost Tag Heuer's endorsement, he also lost GM, Gatorade and a few others. But it's okay. Rolex, Nike, EA sports continues to sponsor him because he is "the greatest" golfer of all times.

I didn't realize trivia needed to be current. You had better send a memo to Jeopardy!

Nope, just and interesting factoid, often something a little less known.

Indeed. Just explained to my 9 year old that there are many people who may be 'winners' in many areas, but are sadly losing in the game of life.

Losing Tag Heuer and gaining Rolex? Sounds like a win to me.

We all make mistakes in life. The difference is that some get caught and some do not.
