Tiger Woods Signs With Rolex in First Endorsement Since Sex Scandals
Tiger Woods has landed his first significant endorsement since his sex scandal in 2009. The endorsement has come from watch specialists Rolex.
Woods lost five major sponsors in the wake of his publicized sex scandals, which led to his divorce with Elin Nordegren.
He was removed as the spokesman for AT&T, Accenture, Tag Heuer, Gatorade and Gillette. Woods was previously regarded as a role model and a great family man before the revelations of his private life. He used to make $100 million a year in royalties.
