GM execs probably haven’t given up on flying their private jets door-to-door in efforts to collect funds for this Winter’s anti-bankruptcy magazine and candy bar fundraiser, but they have found a way to cut around $7 million a year out of the budget.
Unfortunately, when $7 million gets saved someone has to feel the weight in their wallet disappear, and this time around that someone is Tiger Woods. Everyone’s favorite PGA Golf Superstar, who has carried a Buick logo on his bag o’clubs for the past nine years through 14 major championships, was said to have come to a mutual agreement with the automaker to end their endorsement deal a year before it was up. We’re not sure how Tiger will deal as he only has a video game franchise, a Nike deal, and several other endorsements to fall back on, but it’s possible he may have to get a job as a caddy at his local country club just to be able send his children to college and keep a roof over his incredibly attractive wife’s head.
On a positive note, he’ll finally get the chance to check out some of that high quality Japanese and German engineering he’s heard so much about.
