Tiger Woods’ Love Affair
In 2009, reported rumors of professional golfer Tiger Woods’ various love affairs came to light. All of a sudden, Woods found his seemingly flawless image tarnished. It was later discovered that the rumors were true, which gave his ex-wife Elin Nordegren the necessary ammunition to get a $750 million settlement during their divorce.
But this wasn’t the only hit Woods took. He was also dropped by companies like Nike and Gatorade, which he had endorsement deals with. Some say that the lost of those sponsors set him back an additional $12 billion.
