Is Tiger Woods profiting from his latest mugshot? All on ‘blue polo shirt’ after humiliating car crash
Tiger Woods' polo shirt from Florida car accident became a popular collector's item and sold out quickly.
The polo shirt that Tiger Woods donned during his car accident and subsequent arrest has completely sold out, as fans hurried to purchase this unusual collector's item.
In the hours following the release of his mug, the $125 shirt was rapidly purchased online in all available sizes.
As of early Monday, the polo was no longer listed on the company’s website, as per NY Post.
“I guess that’s one way to market your products…,” stated one social media user.
“I found it right after the news broke, there were only smalls and mediums left,” another wrote.
“They just paid for his lawyer selling these out,” a third person said.
It was not immediately evident how much Woods — whose net worth is estimated at $1.5 billion by Forbes — earns from his clothing line.
Tiger Woods arrest
Woods is currently facing charges for driving under the influence, causing property damage, and refusing to comply with a lawful test after he overturned his Land Rover in Jupiter Island, Florida, on Friday. The 50-year-old was reportedly driving at a “high rate of speed” while attempting to pass a truck that was towing a trailer.
Woods made contact with the trailer and lost control of the vehicle, causing it to roll onto its side. Fortunately, he was unharmed and was able to exit through the passenger window. However, officers observed "signs of impairment" in Woods' behavior, which was allegedly due to "some type of medication or drug."
“This could have been a lot worse,” Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek stated.
Although he was cleared of alcohol consumption after undergoing a breathalyzer test, Woods declined to provide a urine sample for testing of other substances. Consequently, he was charged and spent eight hours in Martin County Jail before being released.
