NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Gatorade has become the first sponsor to drop a Tiger Woods product since his scandal began.

On Tuesday afternoon, the PepsiCo(PEP Quote) company told CNBC that the "Gatorade Tiger Focus" will be phased out.

And so it begins. Poor guy has no one but himself to blame. He had it all and wanted more.

[Pharmboy]

Hmmm...I had heard that drink could put lead in your pencil. Perhaps too much lead...

[Genoa]

A comment-rich environment. I will refrain.

[NormsRevenge]

Drink!

and I hear Danica signed onto a Nascar contract .. wow.. uhh.. drink (remember. It’s HapPy Hour somewhere!)

[colorado tanker]

I guess the marketing department didn't like the idea of selling it as an aphrodisiac.

Good! About time someone stands up for what is right.

[NormsRevenge]

Thanks.

This will likely be just one of many opportunities afforded.

I hope Tiger had good investment advice.

I heard they were going to rename it G String. Guess not.

Gatorade may be steriod and STD free now.

Gatorade dropped the Tiger Focus effort when test studies reveled subjects began having intercourse with bimbos on top of their cars in Church parking lots.

Heck, I would think that would be a selling point.

Around the survivors a perimeter create.

He’s juggling 10 women at once AND the best golfer in the world?

I’d think a sports drink would build and entire ad campaign around that!

[NormsRevenge]

They should sign up Tim Tebow.

Woods has earned this failure and all of the disdain he’s going to experience.

So, will Obama have Woods and his wife over for a “teaching moment” beer?

“He’s juggling 10 women at once AND the best golfer in the world?”

Yes, but he could not graduate to simple good husband and father.

A MUCH higher rank, than serial adulterer and merely the best golfer in the world.

"A Gatorade spokesperson said the decision had absolutely nothing to do with the recent scandals involving Tiger Wood's car crash and alleged marital affairs."

Indra Krishnamurthy Nooyi is the CEO of Pepsi. She's the one that defined America with her fingers a few years ago, so I'm surprised that all of a sudden vulgar activity is so unacceptable.
