Tiger Woods Values His Privacy–and His ‘Privacy’ 2
Of course, this kind of thing happens all the time in the boating world. Despite confidentiality clauses, yacht builders constantly drop the names of boat owners to drum up business.
What is more, the ubiquity of the yacht-spotting press and paparazzi has made it nearly impossible for celebrities to disguise their yacht ownership. Tiger made news with the boat weeks before the yacht show, when he and “Privacy” were turned away from a port in San Juan, Puerto Rico, because of failure to file proper notification.
Yet Tiger and his wife sued Christensen claiming more than $75,000 in damages and as much as $50 million in compensatory damages, given the theoretical value of his endorsement.
In the end the case was settled. Christensen agreed to pay the Woods $1.6 million and issue a public apology. Christensen declined to comment.
The case shows that when it comes to his privacy, Tiger and his wife mean business
