Let’s stop sensationalizing Tiger’s tragic situation and do something that might inspire all of us to be personally responsible and accountable for our actions. 
If the allegations are true then I submit he is no “gentlemen” and has broken the first principle of consumer branding … trust. And therefore there must be consequences, 
I propose a boycott of him and his sponsors.
Tiger Boycott Pledge
1. I will not watch, read, discuss or listen to any media reports capitalizing on his failures or successes
2. I will abstain from any of the products or services he represents or endorses e.g. PGA Tour, Nike, EA Sports, Tag Hauser, American Express, etc…
The only way he and his sponsors will earn back my respect is consistently making better decisions.

Elequent, concise and well said.
I will not purchase merchandise from sponsors or advertisers that utilize the name or image of Tiger Woods. To support the Tiger that many had to know about – his womanizing could not have been a secret on the circuit or in his inner circle – and certainly was know or whispered about with those who pay him big bucks to represent a product.
Dishonesty abounds – on all fronts – the list will get long. His need to have such privacy – is where his addiction could live – in secrecy and darkness. It has been said within addiction circles – that we are only as sick as our secrets and our children will either marry a like partner – that mirrors the behaviors of a parent – or become them. Either are dreadfull options.
My heart is heavy for Elin and her children – as sexual addiction can bring home so many “undesirables” – in addition to the loss of dreams, a loss of self-respect, shame for his behaviors – I hope she learns that when one person in the home gets well – the children have a chance.
Tigers spiral is as sad as Elvis, M. Jackson – pills, booze, sex, gambling – isms – defined by excess and that which a “normie” wouldn’t do – bring down larger than life characters – who started to believe thier gifts – garnered them insulation from the light of truth.
You may be Tiger or you may be the auto worker laid off in Detroit who has lost his home and means of earning a living – at the end of the day – niether of which should bench mark who they are – by how they make a living…behviors of integrity, honor and dignity remain the bench mark of great character –
The lack honor, integrity and character should niether be supported or condoned – by advertisers – find a fresh face with great character – and do yourself proud – have the courage to do the next right thing – and like any other employee – let them know that bad behavior and conduct unbecoming is not tolerated.
