‘Gatorade Tiger Focus’ to Be Discontinued

Could the sponsorships start toppling next for Tiger Woods?

Gatorade has announced that it will discontinue its "Gatorade Tiger Focus" drink, however, the company indicated that the decision was made prior to the recent Tiger Woods media firestorm.

Company officials issued a statement to CNBC which reads:

“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.”

The sports drink, which Woods often drank at press conferences, contained a special ingredient that's supposed to reduce stress.  Perhaps Tiger could use a few cases of that right now, eh?  The label featured an image of Woods' eyes.

Of course, many will suspect that Gatorade's decision was related to certain recent events (did we mention that we have a Tiger Woods Mistress Tracker?), CNBC has evidence that the decision was made before Woods' infamous SUV crash.

The magazine Beverage Digest actually reported the axing of "Gatorade Tiger Focus" on November 25, which was two days before the SUV accident took place.  See that?  You could run a breaking news blog too, if only you had a subscription to Beverage Digest magazine.

The only plausible explanation is that Gatorade used the Large Hadron Collider to bend time and space and predict this whole mess before it even began.

So far, none of Tiger Woods' sponsors (Nike, AT&T, Gillette, Accenture, Pepsi, etc.) have dropped him as a spokesperson.  Woods had already lost Buick and American Express within the past two years prior to any of his recent "transgressions."
