Auto industry crisis costs Tiger Woods’ cash. General Motors Corp. will end its nine-year endorsement relationship with golfer Tiger Woods in an effort to further reduce expenses as the company fights to survive financial devastation. GM announced Monday that it will no longer use the star athlete to endorse such products as the Buick, whose emblem Woods has carried on his golf bag. The deal was thought to be worth about $7 million. GM says Woods agreed with the parting of ways because it will let him spend more time with his growing family.

Judge chastises Travis Henry for his spending.  Former Denver Broncos player Travis Henry hopes a judge will change the $3,000 monthly payment order for one of his nine children. Henry, who’s not likely to play in the NFL again after he was charged with attempting to deal cocaine, says he’s unemployed and unable to kick out the cash for his son. “He’s got child support obligations across the country, and he’s got zero income,” lawyer Randall Kessler recently told a court. An earlier order from the judge observed that Henry spent $100,000 on a car and $146,000 for jewelry, and instructed him to establish a $250,000 trust fund. Henry’s appealing the order.
