Gatorade has dropped Tiger Woods' sports drink.
It's the first major endorsement loss for the golfer in the wake of his cheating scandal and bizarre one-car crash.

Gatorade released a statement Tuesday saying the move to discontinue its "Tiger Focus" drink had nothing to do with the golfer's growing scandal and that the decision was made before Tiger's car crash and allegations of extra marital affairs.

A Gatorade spokesperson released this official statement to RadarOnline.com: "As reported last month, we decided several months ago to discontinue Gatorade Tiger Focus along with some other products to make room for our planned series of innovative products in 2010. We hope to share more about our 2010 plans soon."

Unofficially one Gatorade rep told RadarOnline.com that the company's "partnership" with the golfer will continue. That rep said: ""Our partnership with Tiger does continue. Tiger and his family have our support as he works through his private matter."

But when the company released its official statement, the part about continuing its "partnership" with the embattled athlete was noticeably absent.
When pressed by RadarOnline.com for clarification if Gatorade plans to continue a relationship with Woods, a company spokesperson refused to comment.

There is alot of chatter that D&A Investigations, Inc. in orlando has information on Tiger Woods. Isn't D&A Investigations the same private investigator for Casey Anthony, of the death penalty case?

The deal with Gatorade was scheduled to end before his accident and this is merely a coincidence - bad timing for sure!

Tiger's newest competitor lives within himself. Composure is rattled and "yips" dominate. His eroded self-confidence and collapses in tournaments will escalate from fears within. Anyone who has been there, knows this. Success will now be elusive.

Wishful-Thinking, Tiger is far from what you described, but I have no dought you get these feelings the way you describe them in such detail...Tiger keeps his composure while playing at the top of his game thats why he's ranked #1

I'm describing his future composure, not the past. We will be saying, he had it all, back when. I am disappointed in him. But, there is no way he can mentally overcome this and still play at the level that won him the #1 rank. Yes, I've been there.

Sounds to me like you have some mental issues, but don't confuse/ compare yourself to Tiger Woods Mentally he has overcome alot thru out his life as he will continue thru his career to remain #1.
It's all media fed BS!

Whish is the sound of a shaft traveling through the swing plane as a result of centrifugal force, sans club head. Hence the name. If you want to know what the mental issues are, then play for a grand a hole with automatic presses.

You develop a little insight, when you have over 30 years of competing and teaching in the PGA . I watched Tiger grow up, and he now faces a huge struggle with the hardest part of the game, the mental side. His era of winning Majors is over, period.
