Tiger Woods Loses Another Endorsement
Posted Dec 13th 2009 3:41PM by TMZ Staff
Tiger WoodsTiger Woods has been dropped as a spokesman by Accenture, a global management services company that featured Woods very prominently in its ads.
The company released a statement that reads in part: "Given the circumstances of the last two weeks, after careful consideration and analysis, the company has determined that he is no longer the right representative for its advertising. Accenture said that it wishes only the best for Tiger Woods and his family."
Gillette announced earlier this weekend they were phasing Woods out of its ad campaigns. Nike, on the other hand, is standing by their multimillion-dollar man.

Tiger represents (well, represented) excellence. Accenture did the same.
It really doesn't matter because Accenture isn't in good fiscal shape right now. The company has recently had their stocks downgraded severely by Forbes. Truth being told, they would have lost Woods anyway because they would not have been able to afford to hold on to his endorsement.

Makes me wonder why would Accenture would need an endorsement by Tiger Woods...I can understand Gillette, Nike, and Gatorade but Accenture is an outsourcing firm which has no sports related product. What a waste of money as Tiger Woods or any other athlete would be the wrong choice as a spokesman.

You are *such* an idiot.
Golf and big business go hand-in-hand. This is why you're hawking bee pollen at flea markets.

Not really. They simply do tasks for companies who can't afford it or have laid off workers. That's not excellence in my opinion
Monday morning, their stocks are going to take a enormous dump.
Well it kind of shows you why you aren't in this industry and you have no idea how or why sponsors sponsor certain individuals. Better keep your day job cleaning the locker rooms at the local Y cause you will never ever be involved with marketing
I haven't posted on here in ages but considering I have a relative that is an executive at Accenture I had to post and simply state that Vince is a moron. Unable to afford Tiger Woods...??? Dude you must be joking.We ALL know this already ,when Venom Vince Vercase was born his mum strained so hard that she shot out a turd just as vince popped out , when the doctor presented Mrs Goodrum her new bundle of joy she thought the doc had by accident picked up the turd to give her instead , but no it was Venom Vince.
dude, are you high? lol

Pretty obvious - Accenture have been helping people get away with shit for years. Tiger no longer fits their mould because he got caught...

Be quiet, Butterball. The only stock you're concerned with is how many doughnuts Krispy Kreme have "stocked" on their shelves..... ;Dmeow lol

he's also outsourced to someone else so they can go hawking flea pollen at bee markets
From the start, this was the one I was most worried about and looks like my concerns were valid. Most GetBiggers may not know Accenture, but this is a *huge* blow to Tiger, because he essentially built their company. In terms of importance to their brand, Tiger's relationship with Accenture is right up there with his relationship with Nike Golf. It's going to be weird traveling now and not seeing Tiger all over the place, as they had some cool-ass ads.

Global consulting firm Accenture Ltd. has ended its relationship with Tiger Woods, marking the first major sponsor to cut ties altogether with the golfer since his alleged infidelities surfaced and he announced an indefinite leave from the sport to work on his marriage.
In its first statement since the Woods' scandal erupted, Accenture said Sunday the golfer is "no longer the right representative" after the "circumstances of the last two weeks."
Diminishing Returns as Pitchman?
The move ends a six-year relationship during which the firm credited its "Go on, be a Tiger" campaign with boosting its image significantly. Accenture has used Woods to personify its claimed attributes of integrity and high performance.
"After careful consideration and analysis, the company has determined that he is no longer the right representative for its advertising," Accenture said, adding that "it wishes only the best for Tiger Woods and his family."
The firm plans to immediately transition to a new advertising campaign, with a major effort scheduled to launch later in 2010. An Accenture spokeswoman declined to comment further.
Accenture's advertising campaign was almost entirely built around Woods and his success by portraying his greatness on the golf course by making a key putt or chipping out of the rough.
If Woods had acknowledged mistakes and said he would be back in a month, Accenture might be able to ride it out, said Rick Burton, a professor of sports management at Syracuse University, in an interview.
But Accenture can't afford to wait for what could be a long time before Woods returns.
"They had tied everything in their campaign to Tiger Woods it appeared," he said. "If he's not golfing, those ads don't make sense."
Burton noted that Accenture's billboards and airport advertising need to be replaced quickly. Without a backup plan, the company might will fall back on something simple and conservative that could highlight its logo.
"It is probably prudent to take a low-key, conservative approach until they determine what their next message is that they want to send," he said.
Going forward, Accenture will have to determine whether it wants to stick with sports or whether its been too burned by what happened and will go another route, Burton added.
"Accenture has made a decision to not continue with their sponsorship. We are disappointed but respect their decision," said Mark Steinberg, Woods' agent at IMG.
The PGA Tour said it would have no comment.
Accenture has been title sponsor since 2001 of the Match Play Championship, a lucrative World Golf Championship event that draws the top 64 players from the world ranking. Accenture earlier this year renewed its sponsorship of the tournament through 2014. The contract is separate from its business endorsement with Woods.
While not terminating their relationship completely, another major Woods sponsor pulled away this weekend. On Saturday, Gillette, which uses the slogan "The best a man can get," said it won't air advertisements featuring Woods or include him in public appearances for an unspecified amount of time.
Woods was hired by Gillette in 2007 and has been in ads for Gillette Fusion Power razors with titles like "Phenom" and "Champions" with other stars including tennis great Roger Federer and soccer player Thierry Henry.
However, other sponsors continue to stick with Woods for the time being.
Electronic Arts, whose EA Sports division has been selling Tiger Woods video golf games for a decade, said Sunday: "We respect that this is a very difficult, and private, situation for Tiger and his family. At this time, the strategy for our Tiger Woods PGA TOUR business remains unchanged."
The game's next edition featuring Woods comes out in six months.
AT&T said Sunday it continues to evaluate its relationship with the golfer. Watch maker Tag Heuer did not return a call Sunday, but its Web site continues to display photos of Woods' wearing the Link and Golf Watch models.
Nike Inc. said late Friday it supports Woods' decision to take time off. Gatorade, a unit of PepsiCo Inc., said previously it supports Woods.
Be quiet, Butterball. The only stock you're concerned with is how many doughnuts Krispy Kreme have "stocked" on their shelves..... ;DI love how you have nothing to say because you know I am right as is everyone else on here. You have no business dealing with the public. You are a menace and a scammer who can only feed off people who don't know who you are. It is hilarious how you come on here trying your best to sound smart but your real intelligence comes out and you are exposed as the dumb-fuck you really are. How embarrassed your mom and dad (brother and sister) must be of you. And you wonder why you are invited to your family reunion (date night)

Scammer???....please explain Keith Jones as to how I scam people??? This is something new from you to actually commit libel and slander but it'll be interesting to to hear your proof
Im not defending gpoodrum, I just think its fucking ironic how you can sit on your fatass and tell goodrum that hes family is ashamed of him.
LOOK AT YOUR OWN FATASS for fuck sake.
at least he can walk though? and run? and jog? and play sports? and walk in stairs?
and I doubt anyone would invite you to dinner hahahahahaha.

Hahahaha what are you going to do you fucking fag moron get your Pre-Paid legal after me. you fucking dipshit you are hilarious. You mislead people by putting up credentials you didn't earn but paid for online, you pretend to know so much shit but yet you know nothing. You give stupid advice and have been proven full of hit on here many times. you know what put a link on your website to Getbig and let people you peddle your site to read about you on here and see how you really are.

Wow, I left the B out. Well perhaps you can explain why after registering on your forum, I get all of this mail from you
Hello Vince Goodrum,
Here are a few expert reviews of the No-Nonsense
Muscle Building Program:
"Vince's No-Nonsense Muscle Building program is
not just another ebook that you buy, download and
never finish reading. Vince's program has quickly
become a best seller on IronMagazine.com and I
personally recommend it to anyone that wants to
gain muscle mass.
Don't waste any more time making mistakes with
your training, eating and supplementation, buy his
program and save yourself years of trial and
error. And best of all if you need help Vince is
just an email away from giving you personal
answers and support!
I have been involved with bodybuilding and
fitness for over 20 years, trust me you will not
be disappointed with the No-Nonsense Muscle
Building program."

"The principles of No Nonsense Muscle Building
have helped Vince Delmonte transform from "Skinny
Vinny" to a physique champion. These principles
have also helped hundreds of others increase their
strength and muscle size.

muscle-building information currently available,
check out Vince Delmonte's No Nonsense Muscle
Building"
Dr. John M Berardi

------------------------------------------
There are very few programs I will endorse that
have "muscle-building" in the title. Most of the
stuff out there is pure crap - just the same old
"secret this" and "Eastern Block that".
None of it compares to the time-efficient and
practical approach Vince reveals in his book,
"No-Nonsense Muscle Building."
Vince is not only a walking billboard for his
techniques, but he is also able to convey his
practical knowledge in a way that is easy to
implement.
Bottom line: Vince makes building muscle as
simple and efficient as possible for anyone at any
age!

This strategy doesn't work, pal. There are better and much more lucrative ways of selling ebooks and products than an email marketing campaign. Just some advice
You can't get a better recommendation, John is as good as they come. Whats your problem Vince?You mean other than him being epically delusional and bitches like he everybody is out to get him aka persecution complex, this is pretty much normal behavior for him.
