I know this will never happen as economics drive the world's business but what if people in positions of power, like Tiger Woods, took a more active stance on getting our country back on track. Imagine the statement it would make if Tiger Woods decided to do something so extraordinary like using his golf bag as a message to the American public for something other than marketing a product. If his bag is viewed by more people than any other player in the world (and I am sure that it is) wouldn't this he seen by other companies as THE player to be associated and drive his price up in other areas hence potentially not cost him any money in the long run anyway? Extraordinary times call for extraordinary people and I ask... WHAT IF???

Here we have the premier athlete of Asian descent and another opportunity for a company like Toyota or Honda to gain more market share. Seems like a perfect fit and one that would bring Tiger the most money possible. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Steinberg hook Tiger up with an Asian auto maker.
