The Arnold Palmer Invitational is just ten days away, and already the tournament's major sponsor is speaking out regarding Tiger Wood's possible involvement.

The event is billed as the 32nd annual Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by Mastercard.

So is the credit card company cool with golf's fallen hero possibly making his big return at the tournament they're sponsoring?

A Mastercard spokesperson tells X17online exclusively:

    "We'll be involved with the tournament whether or not Tiger shows up. We don't sponsor him. We sponsor the event. From our standpoint, it's about sponsoring the sport because golf fans match up well with the demographic that use our cards."


Tiger sponsors like Gatorade, AT&T and Gillette have dropped their backing of the pro golfer. If Tiger Woods shows up to the Arnold Palmer Invitational, do you think the sponsors will get flack for being associated with him? Or is all the hoopla about Tiger's infidelities over?
