Tiger Woods Gets His Own Gatorade and the Big Bucks
I have been privy to many discussions questioning the true sportiness of golf. Whether or not you think the sport is physically taxing or not, there is no question that Tiger Woods is an athlete extraordinaire, and all athletes drink sports drinks right?
