Not buying your age argument or that the marriage makes more than a marginal difference.
I agree that Tiger has hurt himself substantially by marrying and then cheating so egregiously on his wife.
But had he never got married in the first place, leading a bachelor lifestyle would make little or no difference in his endorsement power in our current popular culture.
In fact, 62% of golf fans STILL view Tiger favorably, and 54% of people polled feel that companies should continue to use Woods to endorse their products even AFTER the scandal, while only 38% say no.

Look what happened to OJ Simpson - he was on every package in America when he was on top... Same as Tiger.
Both men are toxic now..
If Americans had been polled after the OJ trial, the same 25 to 30 percent would probably still buy products OJ pushed..
After OJ got off, there were wide spread reports of people cheering and clapping and whooping it up. That group - the people who like criminals, would still buy products with OJ's face on them. And probably would do the same for Tiger. But the advertisers know who has the money, and who will buy and they'll drop Tiger like a hot potato - just like they did with OJ...
So if you want to buy his stuff, you better get out there soon before it's all pulled.
Do you have a single, never married (middle aged ) sports star who’s bringing in the big endorsements to back up your position?
