BodogBrand Offers Tigers Woods $100 Million Contract
Written May 18, 2010 by Anthony Moretti
It’s nice to know that Tigers Woods has some options. The world’s most recognizable golfer has lost millions in endorsement deals since his infidelities went public, but there’s at least one company that would still love to pay him top dollar to be the face of their brand. That company is online gaming powerhouse BodogBrand.com. A recent report says that
Woods has been offered a $100 million contract with a “no moral judgment” clause. What exactly does that mean? BodogBrand’s founder and owner, Calvin Ayre, says that what happens away from the golf course would have no impact on a sponsorship deal with Woods, and he’s backing that up with a boatload of money and a contract that wouldn’t have
Bodog pulling out of the deal for any off-the-course activities. Tiger hasn’t exactly been himself on the course since returning, but Ayre also isn’t worried about that, saying “BodogBrand is happy to sponsor and help Tiger get back to his best by any means necessary.”
Let’s be honest, this deal never gets done, but it is an interesting proposal. While it’s probably more of a publicity stunt than an offer that BodogBrand really thinks that Woods would consider, it is still a lot of money with very few strings attached. Even with that being said, professional sports on the whole try to keep themselves at a safe distance from sports gambling. They aren’t against it, of course, because it helps bring in massive amounts of revenue for them, however, they also won’t publicly endorse gambling for moral or ethical reasons or whatever the case might be.
