Tiger Woods Will no longer endorse Tag Heuer Watches !
Yes...the great golf superstar, who has been recently involved in a myriad of controversies. First he plowed his car into a fire hydrant in Orlando and later admitted to a number of extra marital affairs. Those scandals may not have stripped him off his golf trophies but it did put all his advertising contracts from top brands in jeopardy. Gillette is not continuing Tiger Woods’ endorsement and neither will Tag Heuer.
Tiger Woods used to be the ambassador for Tag Heuer and promoted the Tag Heuer Golf Watch, the first ever watch created and designed for professional golf players. The watch model was developed by Woods himself. It has a special construction and especially designed with golf players in mind. It is composed of high quality materials and a modern design that will definitely be on a golfer’s wrist for a long time. The golf watch collection comes in a variety of design, construction and materials used. Most models come in stainless steel, have a quartz movement, sapphire crystal, and water resistant for up to 50 meters.
One of the more popular models from this collection is the Golf Watch White Edition made of titanium, rubber, stainless steel and silicon strap.
