Busted for a DUI - from TMZ:
TIGER WOODS BUSTED FOR DUI ... 'Arrogant' During Arrest
Tiger Woods has been arrested on DUI charges in Jupiter, Florida.
The golfer was stopped by cops early Monday morning for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. He was taken in around 3 AM and released from Palm Beach County Jail at 10:50 AM.
You'll recall ... when Tiger and then wife Elin Nordegren got into their blowout fight back in 2009, he hit a tree while allegedly driving under the influence of Ambien. He was not charged with DUI at the time.
Story developing ...
The guy is only 41 but he looks really rough around the edges - his mug shot:
Makes me wonder about all of his sponsorships - they might forgive one isolated hot mess but a history of them?
From Forbes:
Another Endorsement Earnings Bogey For Tiger Woods With DUI Arrest
A picture is worth a thousand words.
And if that picture happens to be a Tiger Woods mugshot post-DUI arrest, it will almost assuredly cost Tiger Woods millions in current and future endorsement earnings.
According to an ESPN report, Woods was arrested for driving under the influence early Monday near his home in Jupiter, FL. He was released on his own recognizance at 10:50 a.m. ET after spending several hours in jail. He was booked at 7:18 a.m.
Most immediately, my thoughts are:
-
- How quickly will companies drop Tiger as a corporate spokesperson?
- How much money will this cost a guy who has already lost millions in endorsement earnings due to his highly publicized infidelity?
- Will Nike continue to stand by Tiger?
He recently had back surgery so he is not able to compete on the golf course. I wonder what his financial outlook is like - did he save anything or did it just go out as fast as it came in.
