It's my understanding that Gatorade did NOT leave him. They simply shut down the G2 FOCUS drink a few months ago but with fiscal timings and such it wasn't made known until now. So Gatorade still sponsors him as does everyone else from what I've read so far.
I think it's also important to note here, that while a ton of athletes are guilty of this, how do we know all of these women are telling the truth? Right now it's an easy pay day for a woman to say they were another mistress of Tiger's. So I wouldn't be so ready to jump on the "OH MY GOD ANOTHER SLUT" bandwagon just yet.
I wonder (and this is not condoning it) how much his dad's death had a role in all of this. I still wonder if the vicodin addiction is a real thing (I've only fabricated it in my head) and if they both correlate to each other. His father was his rock..so it's easy to see how his death could have affected Tiger in such a way that he would act out of normal circles.
Honestly, I don't know if any sponsors have left him yet, or if they are considering it, but if Tiger chins up, and gives his wife the 50mil or whatever the new prenup is, and wins a major or two next year, I don't think the sponsors will really give a fuck how many chicks he slept with. If he stays #1, he'll have plenty of endorsements one way or another.
