Tiger Woods Wife The Leader

Tiger Woods may be a favorite to win the 2008 US Masters (still), and he may be a marketing goldmine for the sport, but little do people know how big a marketing tool Tiger Woods wife could be.

Emphasis on the term "could be".  She's not selling anything to the best of our knowledge, though she should based on Internet traffic numbers.

Each time a major golf event features Tiger Woods, his wife Elin Nordegren, gets more traffic searches than any single golfer, including her husband.

"We know Tiger is smart.  His wife probably is too.  The couple should start endorsing His or Her type products," suggests Gambling911.com Senior Editor, Payton O'Brien.  "Or she can go solo."

Companies should be falling over backwards trying to sign on Ms. Nordegren.  But they are not.

Contrary to popular opinion, Tiger Woods Wife has never posed for nude photos that first made the Web rounds back in 2004.

Last year she successfully sued the Irish publication, The Dubliner, for essentially implying she was "a hoochie" - in not so many words.

"With Tiger moving up the US Masters leader board the final day, Elin should start to see plenty more searches," says O'Brien.

That was the case with the recent Championship golf tournament Tiger Woods appeared in.  It was the case last year when Woods played in the British Open and every other Masters Tournament.  In fact, Ms. Woods was among the most queried searches on the Gambling911.com website in 2008.
