Tiger Woods Betting - Which Sponsor will be next to drop Tiger

Following Accenture’s announcement they are severing their contract with the golfer other sponsors may be contemplating the same decision. AT&T have stated they are currently evaluating their relationship and are 7/4 at Paddypower to end their deal and it is likely General Mills, who produce children’s cereal, will be the next corporate at 9/4 to follow suit and drop Tiger from their books.

Whilst IMG will be doing all they can to stem the flow of sponsors canceling contracts they too could be under pressure. Wood’s will require a cabinet reshuffle of his inner circle to regain his wife’s trust and his management team at IMG are currently 10/1 to face the chop as he looks to put the past behind him.

On up side though Paddy Power have offered Tiger a £1m contract to promote their new Tiger’s Birdies bet, which will allow punters to predict the number of birdies Tiger scores on each day of the four majors if he plays in 2010.

Paddy Power said: “It looks like Tiger may lose a few of his long term sponsors, but we think he still has great value so we have offered him a million pounds to promote our new product. So far we have not heard from IMG but if a few more sponsors pull out we hope they will give us a call.”
