18. Case Study
Tiger Woods Now Wears Rolex
• Why would Rolex want to sign an endorsement contract with Tiger Woods, a celebrity
in crisis with a profoundly negative image? Was his public image destroyed forever?
Would he come back on the golf course and in the boardroom? Was this a strategic
marketing move for Rolex?
• On October 5, 2011, luxury watchmaker Rolex Corporation executives signed an
endorsement deal with Tiger Woods. This deal, the first major sponsorship contract
since the Tiger Woods car accident and scandal in November 2009 that led to his
admission of marital infidelity and divorce, represented a new beginning for him.

19. Continue...
• While Tiger Woods had maintained commercial
contracts with Electronic Arts, Nike, Upper Deck,
NetJets Inc., he lost endorsement deals with AT&T,
Accenture and Gatorade.
• The public’s perception of Tiger Woods had changed
dramatically. According to Marketing Evaluations,
Tiger Woods’ likability appeal (Q score) had been
surpassed by feelings of negativity (Baar, 2010).
• Millward Brown, a research agency specializing in
brand equity research, tracked public perception of
celebrities, and found that before his scandal, only
two percent of people surveyed had a negative
impression of Tiger Woods.
• In December 2009, 80 percent of those surveyed
had a negative impression of him (Helm, 2009).
• The new endorsement deal with Rolex once again
included Tiger Woods in the luxury-watch category.
Previously, Tiger Woods had endorsed TAG Heuer,
the Swiss watchmaker, but the company ended its
endorsement agreement with Woods when the
contract expired in July of 2011
