First In Watches Sees Mixed Signals
Lot of reports flying around on the status of Tiger Wood’s sponsors and whether or not they will stick with him. Our interest here at First In Watches being of course his affiliation with global luxury watch brand TAG Heuer. Although we are not as close to the story as we would like, I have been following the headlines and felt it appropriate to weigh in with a quick take.
Although the news out this morning from the UK Guardian is that TAG Heuer will be standing by Tiger and that his personal life is “not our business“, it seems that TAG Heuer has also carefully hedged its position as reports late last week from Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald indicated that the brand had pulled placards and other Tiger-related advertising materials from the marketplace.
First In Watches believes that these mixed signals do not bode well for the future Tiger Woods/TAG Heuer relationship. Further, with another equally high profile sponsor like Accenture finally announcing that it is dropping Tiger, the pressure upon other sponsors such as TAG Heuer to drop Tiger will continue to mount. It seems likely to me that Tiger’s affiliation with TAG Heuer is probably just a few ticks of the chronograph counter’s hand away from being pulled.

I don’t think TAG can afford to continue their sponsorship of TW especially after their manufacture” movement hiccup. Although many men probably think to themselves ((“Dang, how did TW get away with it so long”)), TAG has to set some moral standards for themselves and do the right thing at least until TW can fix his life.
I was at a watch event where there was a giant Tiger poster on the wall, and we’re joking saying, “hey Tiger, you got another text message”.. lol. Tag can’t have their brand associated with stuff like that.
Hey – nice website, just looking around some websites, seems a really nice platform you are using. I’m currently using Wordpress for a few of my websites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?
