General Motors ends 9-year endorsement deal with Tiger Woods, says it is looking to pare costs.
Finally somewhat of a sound decision I gather if Tiger's not playing he's not worth it. Maybe they can get Tiger to bail out GM.
Peace

Yeah... those commercials with him and that Buick cracked me up. Who really things that Tiger Woods drives a freakin' Buick? Does anyone drive Buick's anymore?

LOL not really. he doesnt need the money. besides this split was mutual. Tiger has a second baby on the way and was perfectly fine with ending this contract.
He probably feels bad about what's happening at GM (loss of jobs + closing of plants) and he always wants to stay on the side of being political correct.

DETROIT, MICHIGAN - General Motors and Tiger Woods announced today that they will conclude their endorsement deal effective December 31, 2008.
Both GM and Woods agreed to a mutual and amicable separation that included a desire for more personal time for the 14-time major winner who is expecting his second child in late winter as well as the search for budget efficiencies during a difficult economy for General Motors. For the past nine years, Woods has endorsed GM products around the world and has been heavily associated with the Buick brand in the US, Canada and China markets.
Mark LaNeve, General Motors North American Vice President of Sales, Service and Marketing said, "Tiger has been a great friend to GM and a fantastic asset through the years helping to bring consumer awareness to many new GM products. In light of the news coming out of Washington," LaNeve added, "This decision is the result of discussions that started earlier in the year and the timing of this agreement with these other activities is purely coincidental."
In a statement, Woods commented, "I am very proud of the long standing partnership I've had with GM and have enjoyed being a part of the company's dramatic product evolution. We've had a lot of fun together and I participated in some unique and rewarding activities. We've enjoyed a tremendous partnership over the years and we will maintain strong ties with the many people at GM we call friends."
