So far Nike has spent $60 million on Tiger Woods.

If you invest in companies that spend that sort of money on hype, the skill of management in distilling out bang for buck is an important consideration. That of course is the problem with advertising, only half of it works (if you’re lucky) and you never know which half, and more to the point, working out the value of the brand is just as hard.

There were three reactions by the sponsors to the “difficulties that Tiger and his family are facing”. One was to run away from the spotlight (Accenture and AT&T ran a mile), one was to wait and see (Gillette and Tag Heuer).

Nike ran straight towards the fire. On the day-before Woods teed up at the Masters, they put out a controversial “Tiger” Advertisement that some people called “creepy” and others called “disgusting”.

But they all watched it.

So was that a “Setback…or a Test”?
