GM says Woods doesn’t get free cars anymore

  • Print

NEW YORK (AP)—General Motors Co. says an agreement with Tiger Woods that allowed the fallen golf star to have free access to its vehicles is over.

Woods’ endorsement contract with GM’s Buick brand ended in 2008, but an arrangement remained in place that allowed him to keep several GM loaner vehicles. A spokesman says the arrangement ended on Dec. 31.

Woods has lost a host of endorsement contracts since the Nov. 27 car crash outside his Florida home. The accident triggered allegations of marital infidelity that led him to take a break from professional golf, though the GM spokesman says the vehicle arrangement had been previously scheduled to end on Dec. 31.

USA Today reported GM’s decision in a blog post Tuesday.

    Remember this folks. Golf need Tiger and all the fans including yourself need Tiger. Tiger own PGA. I wish someday Tiger will have his own TPGA. PGA will losing money during his timeoff.

    Nicky G, what the heck had Tiger been doing all these years, dozing on the couch (even that is work).?Hmmm.. are u sure you know what golf is? Try knocking a ping pong-size ball into an empty can of milk, with a wooden cake-mixer, and tell us how you did.

    The truth is the PGA needs Tiger more than Tiger needs the PGA. Yeah, someone wrote that Mick is a more interesting person. Right, if you like overweight golfers who have a tendency to choke. I agree that there are some good players coming up, but Tiger is the MJ of the PGA and there is no one who can deny that. Tiger will come back and the sponsers will be crawling over each other to get to him. His endorsement deals will go through the roof. You ain't seen the last of Tiger.

    no one cares about cheetah woods anymore. he is irrelevant and forgotten.

    the tour will be just fine without him. a new generation of golfers are about to explode and dominate the cheetah less pgatour. they will dominate him even if he tries to come back which looks very unlikely at this point. i don't see him ever playing on the tour again. he will just play the majors.

    I have no problem with a Eldrick-less tour. Phil is way more interesting, compelling, and has a better back story. SoCal golfers cant stand Eldrick anyway because he abandoned us a long time ago. When the wuss figured out he couldn't win at Riviera he quit on us. The tour likes to set the courses up to fit Eldricks game so he has a better chance of winning. Cant do that at Riviera. He always treated the fans like s***. Just give him his money and get out of his way. Everyone is a peon and a servant to Eldrick. Know why he doesnt like Phil?,because everyone else does.

    I dont agree with woods private life style, but for all those golfers who love and play golf, remember, if it wasnt for woods the PGA would almost disapear, all the really great players are gone. I hope daly comes back, at least he is exciting. Golf needs woods , and we can only hope he returns, and we all enjoy his golf again.

    OK st michael you are officially the biggest loser of all time! and im not talking about the TV show that you have to try to lose more weight than the rest of them. Im talking about the fact that you have been posting nonsense for months on end. You must have your 1 friend over so that when you run out of nonsense he can hold down the forte and spew idiotic drivel to no end. Your an idiot and your mentally retarded. Nobody really cares what you think so why dont you fade into obscurity, have sex with your mom some more and keep producing kids with half a head and no arms you mange piece of dog S#@!. Your always going to be stupid, I guess thats just how it has to be for some people! Better yet the next time you bang one of your family members use a rubber because if there is 1 thing worse than an idiot with half a brain its an inbred idiot with half a brain! Its not the end of the world because your uncle is your dad!

    Losers who can't take the tiger on the pitch want to take it all when it's asleep. The claws, the teeth, the skin... now they want the heart. Tigers sleep light though, and wake up refreshed.

    good for gm hope more sponsors step up & more golfers beside jasper and monty speak up - but i see the golf channel just keeps shoving tiger's matches down our throats - i also hope that during this season the the announcers leave tiger out of conversations while commentating - (how he would have made a shot etc etc etc) when he's not even playing - there was a story about a week ago about tiger being in with a threesome - him another man and a woman - the woman reported tiger made it the man - since that story aired there has not been another story about him anywhere - tiger is harder to find than osama bin laden and howard hughes put together - tiger is learning that no one is bigger than the sport they are in - so tiger what goes around - comes around - one of the biggest frauds there ever was!

    TO ALL:

    St. Michael is possessed by demons. These demons gain access to people who feel that no one cares about them which causes them to suffer with low self esteem. The goal of these demons is to deceive the person into a false sense of well being by making accusations and making negative statements about others that trigger attacks from people like you and me who are offended.

    Our attacks actually aid these demons in their work because they feed off and grow stronger with the negativity of the attacks. The people possessed(St. Michael) get a false sense of security because they now falsely start to believe that someone is finally starting to care about them. Their need for acceptance and recognition is so great that they actually find a twisted sort of relief in being attacked.

    We must be careful because these demons are known for their ability to enter others by riding attack waves back to the sender; especially when the attacker feels good about their ability and the cleverness of their attacks.Others boost our ego in encouraging us by praising our "unique" abilities to go after a hater. Demons love this.

    It behooves us to temper our attacks with prayer. This does 4 things;
    1. It provides a shield around us against demons...they hate prayer
    2. It provides a means of escape and hope for the possessed
    3. It shows others who are offended how to effectively do battle
    4, It shows those who encourage us to attack that we have more to offer

    Peace. johnp
