When people saw Tiger Woods running around with his beauty as an assistant to the US team at the Presidents Cup, they suddenly realized that this golfer had not played since the beginning of the year. However, the brand value of the former world No. 1 is still sky-high.

Insomnia and back pain are preventing Tiger Woods from returning to the field. Even as he himself just admitted, ‘Wild Tiger’ will never return to its previous peak. However, this star’s brand shows no signs of decreasing.

If you don’t believe me, just ask Angel Ilagan, CEO of Bridgestone Golf. Last December, Bridgestone Golf signed a multi-year contract with Tiger Woods so that the golf legend only uses this company’s balls. But since then, Tiger Woods has not attended any tournaments after back surgeries, not to mention being caught in a state of ‘dumbness’ due to taking too many drugs at the same time.

Yet Bridgestone Golf’s revenue in the first half of 2017 still achieved record growth! Therefore, Angel Ilagan believes that even if Tiger Woods does not compete, just by having his name, the audience/customers will still flock to respond. In other words, Tiger Woods is now more like a brand than a golfer, like Michael Jordan in basketball.

Michael Jordan retired a long time ago, but his shoes and this scoring pose are still attractive.

Not competing, the ‘Michael Jordan of golf’ chose another way to attract attention, which was to appear at Liberty National Golf Club in New Jersey (USA), where the 2017 Presidents Cup golf tournament took place.

Rica Herman acts like Tiger Woods’ girlfriend.

Equally noteworthy is that next to this ‘Forest Tiger’ there is a pink shadow that is both strange and familiar. That is Erica Herman (33 years old), director of Genesis Open restaurant at The Riviera Country Club that the 41-year-old golfer owns. Tiger Woods has not announced that they are dating, but Erica Herman’s flirtatious appearance shows the true type of lover. Furthermore, she also wears a string with a sign for the golfer’s wife or lover.

Erica Herman’s presence also reminds us that 2017 was an eventful year in the life of ‘love killer’ Tiger Woods. Because on August 10, he broke up with his girlfriend Kristin Smith. The Dallas stylist accused Tiger Woods of constantly having affairs, but still burst into tears when he heard the news that he was arrested by the police for driving while under the influence of drugs.

Kristin Smith just broke up with Tiger Woods.

Kristin Smith’s suspicions are not unfounded, because Tiger Woods was just suspected of having an affair with Laci Kay Somers – a fitness model from TMZ. Laci Kay Somers has stated that she has had no contact with Tiger Woods since before the car crash, despite rumors that they were dating.

Laci Kay Somers denies rumors of dating Tiger Woods.
