Tiger sports drink goes off the market

December 10, 2009 Edition 1

New York: Sports drink maker Gatorade is discontinuing its Tiger Woods drink, but says it made the decision before the golfer's car accident led to the scandal surrounding his personal life.

The decision to drop the drink, called Tiger Focus, was first reported by magazine Beverage Digest in an issue dated November 25, two days before the incident at Woods's home. The publication's editor, John Sicher, said he had learned of the decision in the week beginning on November 9.

The brand - a unit of PepsiCo - said the decision did not have to do with recent events. - Sapa-AP
