Tiger Woods Turns Down $75 Million Paddy Power Poker Sponsorship
Recently, gossip site TMZ reported that embattled professional golfer Tiger Woods, fresh off a highly publicized marital tiff, turned down a $75 million sponsorship offer from the online sports book, casino, and poker site Paddy Power.
As its name implies, Paddy Power makes its bread and butter off the Irish poker market. TMZ explained that the multi-faceted online outlet approached the 14-time major champion with an offer it thought Woods couldn’t refuse. TMZ recounted, “Tiger Woods just blew off a $75 million endorsement offer from an Irish gambling company – and that is how you know you’re rich.” The offer was reportedly for five years, but Woods snubbed the lucrative proposition despite its long-term potential.
The news comes one day after five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman became the official celebrity endorser of the Cake Poker Network site Only Poker. Despite being dumped on the first round of negotiations, Paddy Power will apparently return to the bargaining table with another offer, according to TMZ. Paddy Power is a member of the massive iPoker Network, which is the fourth largest worldwide according to the traffic ranking site PokerScout.com. The network does not accept members from the United States.
Despite not accepting action from the populated North American nation, Paddy Power Poker could have used Woods’ recognition around the world to attract customers to its site. Woods has won golf tournaments across Europe, Asia, and Australia in addition to his domination on the links in North America. He’s arguably the most recognizable name in the world of golf.
In late 2009, disaster struck for Woods. A purported past of infidelity finally caught up to the golf superstar, leading to an infamous run-in featuring his wife Elin Nordegren, a Cadillac Escalade luxury SUV, a golf club, a fire hydrant, and a tree in front of his Florida home. As news of Woods’ crash spread around the internet like wildfire, major sponsors began questioning their relationship with the 34 year-old.
Among the first Fortune 500 companies to cut bait with Woods was Accenture, followed by AT&T, Gatorade, and Gillette. According to a study released by the University of California – Davis in late December, Woods’ extracurricular activities could have cost shareholders of associated companies between $5 billion and $12 billion. The study examined businesses including Accenture, AT&T, Electronic Arts, Gillette, Nike, Gatorade, TLC Laser Eye Centers, and Golf Digest. The study added that Woods raked in $100 million annually from endorsements, “more than any other athlete.”
Woods spoke to the media in mid-February about the incident and may return to golf. The Masters, which Woods has won four times, will kick off from Augusta National Golf Course outside of Atlanta on April 6th. He last took down the high-profile tournament in 2005.
Paddy Power Poker has a bevy of promotions taking place, including Cashpoint, whose format is similar to PartyPoker’s Gladiator. Paddy Power Poker players who rack up 100 points for 10 days or more during the month of March are eligible to win cash prizes. The site will take a player’s 10 highest earning point days during the month and match $1 for every 20 points earned on the lowest day. The minimum payout is $5 and players can also qualify for a $2,000 Cashpoint freeroll.
Other sites on the massive iPoker Network include bet365, CelebPoker, Chili Poker, Mansion Poker, Noble Poker, Sun Poker, Titan Poker, and William Hill. The publicly traded company Playtech owns and operates the network. Playtech is traded on the London Stock Exchange under the symbol “PTEC.”
Stay tuned to Poker News Daily for the latest poker gossip on Woods and other celebrities.

Online Poker Rooms Gear Up for 2010 WSOP
PartyPoker is giving away a $14,000 WSOP Main Event package, including buy-in, accommodations and $2k in spending money, for absolutely nothing.
The site just introduced a comprehensive range of WSOP qualifiers this week, starting with daily freerolls.
Qualifiers are online now until June 13 with the main $700+$50 satellites taking place every Friday at 6 p.m. ET and Sunday at 3:35 p.m. ET giving away a $14k WSOP package to one in 20 players.
"PartyPoker.com is offering more seriously cost effective ways to qualify for the WSOP than ever before," said a company spokesperson. "It doesn't get much better than winning a package for absolutely nothing!"
Meanwhile, in an attempt to make all its qualifiers feel like winners, Absolute Poker and UB are running a bonus promotion that pays every player who qualifies for the Main Event on the sites at least $1,000 in cash and a chance at a final table sponsorship that's worth up to $750,000.
Players who qualify for their Main Event seat at UB or Absolute Poker through Step tournaments or multi-table satellites and play in the Main Event wearing approved branded gear will qualify for the bonus.
Starting at $1,000, the bonus is progressive, meaning the more players that qualify on Absolute and UB, the bigger the bonus will be.
Absolute and UB will add $1,500 per player to the progressive prize pool and that amount will grow up to $5,000 per player based on how many players take advantage of the promotion.
Of the total bonus prize pool, 75% will be split among all participating players and the remaining 25% will be shared among those who cash in the Main Event.
There are several ways to get hold of one of UB or Absolute's $12k WSOP packages.
In addition to Step tournaments for just 10 cents and Weekly Super Satellites, which are fed by daily qualifiers, UB and AbsolutePoker will also hold a 25-seat Guaranteed tournament on June 6 and a 50-seat Guaranteed tournament on June 20.
Plus, a "Win the Most Satellites" leaderboard competition will award over $10,000 in Tournament Dollars to the top 5 players who win the most Main Event seats on either site.
For more information on all these promotions, check Absolute Poker, PartyPoker and UB.

Full Tilt Brings Back Sit and Go Madness
Not a college basketball fan? Don't fret. Full Tilt Poker has its own version of March Madness to help pass the time this month. The world's second largest poker site will unleash its popular Sit and Go Madness on Friday, March 5th, giving players a chance at more than $125,000 in cash and prizes just by playing single-table Sit and Gos.
The action gets underway on Full Tilt at 16:00 ET on March 5th and runs through 16:00 ET on Sunday, March 7th. By simply playing Sit and Gos on the site, players can win a cut of leaderboard prize money, tickets to the Madness Raffle, and an entry to the Madness Freeroll, where they'll play for a share of a $50,000 prize pool.
The promotion will be equally split into 24 two-hour blocks, with leaderboards for each of four separate groups during every two-hour period. The top seven players at the end of each two-hour block will have the opportunity to claim a payday:
| Group A ($1-2) | Group B ($5-11) | Group C ($20-33) | Group D ($50-110) | |
| 1st Place | $20 | $100 | $200 | $500 |
| 2nd Place | $12.50 | $60 | $125 | $300 |
| 3rd Place | $7.50 | $40 | $75 | $200 |
| 4th place | $5 | $25 | $50 | $125 |
| 5th Place | $2.5 | $12.50 | $25 | $60 |
| 6th Place | $1.5 | $7.50 | $15 | $40 |
| 7th Place | $1 | $5 | $10 | $25 |
There is also an Overall Leaderboard for each respective group for the entire 48 hours of the event, which is determined by the best performance in one of the two-hour time periods. The top two players in each group's Overall Leaderboard will meet in a $5,000 Sit and Go Freeroll where the top three places will be paid. The Freeroll will take place on Saturday, March 13th at 15:05 ET.
Players who don't make it onto one of the Sit and Go Madness Leaderboards still have a chance to win big with the $50,000 Madness Freeroll. By winning at least two qualifying Sit and Gos during the 48-hour period, players will be automatically entered into the Madness Freeroll on Saturday, March 13th at 16:50 ET. The winner of the freeroll is expected to receive close to $5,000.
In addition, Full Tilt Poker is giving away more than 1,000 prizes as part of its Madness Raffle. For every qualifying Sit and Go that a player cashes in during Sit and Go Madness, he or she will earn one raffle ticket good for entry into a drawing for gear from the Full Tilt Store, Tournament Dollars, and Satellite Tokens. Some of the prizes include Full Tilt hats and t-shits, $26 and $75 Satellite tokens, $200 and $500 in Tournament Dollars, and a Full Tilt Poker Deluxe Home Game Package.
Qualifying Sit and Go Madness tournaments can be found in the 1-Table Sit and Go section of the Full Tilt Poker lobby. Sit and Gos Madness tables are highlighted in green.

PokerStars Starts Luxury Ladies Poker Club, Offers Shot to Play in Monte Carlo
While the European Poker Tour’s sixth season Grand Final doesn’t come around until April 27th, tour sponsor PokerStars is already at full speed for the festivities around the event. Starting today, PokerStars has announced a new poker club for women only that will give them an opportunity to be at the tables when the Grand Final rolls around in Monte Carlo.
The PokerStars Luxury Ladies Poker Club is the newest promotion that PokerStars has unveiled and it will give several fortunate women a chance to participate in the world-class event in Monte Carlo. The Luxury Ladies Poker Club will be running daily and weekly satellites will send women to participate in the €1,100 Ladies Championship, which will run during the schedule of the Grand Final at one of Monte Carlo’s finest hotels, the Columbus Monaco. These satellites are priced for any female poker player’s budget and should offer excellent competition for the ladies involved.
Starting today and running daily, the Luxury Ladies Poker Club will offer a freezeout tournament as well as a rebuy. The freezeout is a €22 buy-in that will award at least one seat to the Weekly Final and the rebuy event will be a €5.50 buy-in (with rebuys), which also guarantees at least one seat into the Weekly Final. On Saturdays through April 18th, a freeroll will be offered that will earn three players their seat in the Weekly Final. The Weekly Finals – a €215 buy-in for players who do not make it through a satellite – will run on March 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, and April 4th, 11th, and 18th. Each tournament guarantees a minimum of one seat to the Monte Carlo event.
Up for grabs is a very impressive package to participate in the action in Monte Carlo. The prize package is worth €3,500 and includes several amenities for the lucky ladies who win one. The €1,100 Ladies tournament buy-in is included as well as five nights’ accommodation at the Columbus Monaco, which is worth €1,300. Players will be awarded €700 in cash for travel expenses and will also participate in PokerStars pro Vanessa Rousso’s Ladies Boot Camp, a prize worth €300. The winning women also receive a ladies’ goodie bag containing PokerStars women’s apparel and will be a part of an exclusive party in Monte Carlo. Players who want to get away from the poker action will also have the opportunity to watch the seventh Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, a historic series of auto races featuring vintage Formula One cars, which will run on May 1st and 2nd.
For those men who want to take a shot at playing in the Luxury Ladies Poker Club satellites or Main Event, PokerStars is warning them not to even try. In the Terms and Conditions of the promotion, PokerStars states, “Men who enter the online satellite qualifiers will be ineligible to win any prizes, and will be disqualified from the target events without compensation.” Of particular interest is the “any prizes” quote, which means that, even if a male who was playing in the tournament won cash, he would not receive it, as the tournaments are established for women only.
The Luxury Ladies Poker Club has held two events prior to this stop at the Grand Final in Monte Carlo. The most recent event was held during the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, with Rousso defeating a field of 91 women to take the championship. Last October, Poland’s Dagmara Aleksandrowicz defeated a field of 119 women in London to win the first EPT Ladies Championship event.
The Luxury Ladies Poker Club is an opportunity for women to get in the world of poker and, at the same time, win a valuable prize package through PokerStars and travel to the exotic locale of Monte Carlo. For more details on the special tournaments happening between now and April 18th, visit PokerStars.

PokerStars Celebrates 40 Billionth Hand
The world’s largest online poker site, PokerStars, is celebrating the dealing of its 40 billionth hand in a big way. The festivities will feature the largest Sunday Million in the site’s history, a $4 million guaranteed tournament on February 21st.
A bevy of cash game prizes based on the number 40 will be up for grabs as part of the promotion, which began today on PokerStars. All players dealt to in every millionth hand will reap $40 for each VIP Player Point (VPP) earned during the previous 40 hands played at the same table. Text found on PokerStars’ website explains that everyone will go home richer: “Because PokerStars wants everyone to be a winner, an extra VPP will be awarded to all players dealt in - this means you’ll win a minimum of at least $40. The winner of the hand will also get their cash prize doubled!”
The cash game side of the promotion begins with hand number 39,601,000,000 and will continue until the 40 billion mark is hit. When the big hand rolls around, aside from a lot of hooting and hollering going on at PokerStars’ Isle of Man headquarters, players dealt to will grab $400 for every VPP earned in the previous 40 hands at the table. The winner of the hand will also see their cash prize doubled, adding even more money to their bankroll. If there’s a split pot in any scenario, each player involved in the chop will have their prizes doubled.
One of the highlights of the 40 billionth hand celebration is the mega-sized Sunday Million. Regularly sporting a $1.5 million guarantee, the purse of the event will grow to a ridiculous $4 million on Sunday, February 21st. Players in the United States may cancel their plans in droves to take advantage of this colossal guarantee, which means that a first place prize of at least $1 million will be up for grabs. The Sunday Million will begin at 16:30 ET and comes with a $215 price tag.
At 14:30 ET on Sunday, February 14th, look for a special $40 Micro Million on PokerStars. The poker tournament, which will take place on Valentine’s Day in the United States, has a $40 buy-in and features a high-stakes $1 million prize pool. Also playing out throughout the course of the 40 billionth hand celebration is a series of $40,000 prize pool tournaments with buy-ins of 40 Frequent Player Points (FPPs). The kickoff times of these events will alternate between 13:40 ET and 21:40 ET each day. All tournaments can be found in the PokerStars lobby under “Tourney” and “Special.”
Sit and go players aren’t left out in the cold, either. Instead, celebratory 40-man Super Sit and Gos will run around the clock from February 14th to 21st featuring a wide range of buy-ins: $1.10, $11, $22, and $55. On what makes these sit and gos special, other than their 40-man fields, PokerStars explains, “The winner of every tournament gets a slice of $40,000, shared between all the winners at each buy-in level.” Once PokerStars officials compute how much each player should take home, they’ll deposit the funds by February 23rd.
If you think PokerStars is done there, you’re gravely mistaken. Play money customers who make their first real money deposit with the code "F40" can compete in $1,000 freerolls running from February 14th to 21st. These events take place not once, not twice, not three times, not four times, but five times every single day – 08:40 ET, 12:40 ET, 15:40 ET, 19:40 ET, and 22:40 ET – giving players ample opportunities to kick-start their bankrolls. Finally, any player on the site can trade 2,500 FPPs for $40 in cash no matter what their VIP level is. Each player can only take advantage of one $40 bankroll boost.
PokerStars happily accepts players from the United States.
