Posted by Emmett Jones in Fringe Sports
Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Tiger Woods is close to signing an endorsement deal with Gatorade. Gatorade, who’s offer is reportedly is worth more than $100 million dollars over 5 years, beat out an offer from another celebrity endorsed sports drink, Vitamin Water. Tiger already has endorsement deals with Nike, Buick, Tag Heuer, Accenture, Gillette, and Electronic Arts. He is making money hand over fist, and it looks like his deal with Gatorade is just going to add to his total. What can you say about Tiger Woods? He’s just one of those athletes that really has the ability to endorse just about any product. Rumor has it he’s going to be endorsing Windex window cleaner soon (okay, maybe not, but its not like he couldn’t sell it).
Tiger Woods, the man who will probably be the greatest golfer ever, is married to Elin Nordegren, has a new baby daughter…Oh, did I mention that he’ll probably be a billionaire when he retires? Yeah. things are going pretty good.
Tiger is represented by Mark Steinberg of the super, SUPER, SUPER company, IMG.
