The CEO of the company told the Swiss paper Le Matin today, "We recognize Tiger Woods as a great sportsman but we have to take account of the sensitivity of some consumers in relation to recent events."

Translation: Just because Tiger ran through cocktail waitresses like clockwork, doesn't make him a good spokesman for a watch company.

Although there are unconfirmed reports that Elin is going full steam ahead with the divorce, Tiger is not giving up. We're told he wants to stay married to Elin and is doing what he can to convince her not to walk.

One of the things we know Tiger is doing ... behind the scenes his people are dealing with the bevy of alleged mistresses, trying to contain what they can. There are, as one source put it, "lots of phone calls."

A spokesman for the team told TMZ that instead of canceling the holiday party entirely, "We decided to keep it -- shifting the focus a bit to make it also an event where the Bengals family could gather in the wake of the tragedy."

The rep also told us team owner Mike Brown gave a speech honoring Henry's memory and led a moment of silence in his honor.

The rep tells TMZ Chris and his fiancee Loleini Tonga came to the office on Tuesday night to discuss the pricing of a photography package. The rep claims Henry became upset when he saw the bill and "with an attitude" asked Loleini, "How much we paying for all this?"

The rep claims the two "bickered" over details -- and eventually Henry walked outside so Loleini could work out the details, fill out paperwork and fork over the deposit.

As we previously reported, Chris and Loleini had a "domestic situation" the following day which moved from a home to a moving pickup truck. Chris ultimately fell from the truck and died Thursday morning from his injuries.

According to the document, Elin's father signed for his daughter, who is listed as Elin Woods. The document was signed on December 1, 2009. The purchase price -- 16 million Swedish Kronor -- $2.234 million.

As we reported earlier, the house is a complete fixer-upper, but it sits on 59 acres of land.

But our sources say Elin will not be moving into the house. So, the plot thickens.

The caller also describes the Cincinnati Bengals star as "shirtless" and said his arm was in a cast.

A second person called 911 after Chris fell from the back of the truck -- saying "there's a man is in the road ... he looks dead ... there's no movement."

Chris died early this morning as a result of his injuries.

Team officials tell TMZ, practice is still on for 1 PM, so the team can continue to prep for the San Diego Chargers. So far, no team plans have been made to honor the fallen teammate yet.

UPDATE: The Bengals have announced they will wear a sticker on their helmet during the game this weekend to honor Henry.

NFL star Chris Henry has died as a result of the injuries he sustained after falling out of the back of a moving pickup truck yesterday.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police tell TMZ Henry died at 6:36 AM EST this morning.

He was 26.

As we previously reported, cops believe Henry -- a wide receiver on the Cincinnati Bengals -- jumped into the back of the truck, in an attempt to stop his fiancee from leaving a "domestic situation" at her parents' home in North Carolina.

Henry was rushed to a local hospital -- where he passed away this morning.

Authorities tell us they're still investigating the situation.

TMZ has obtained photos of Tiger and Tony Romo hanging out in the quarterback's box at Cowboys Stadium during a U2 concert back in October.

The blonde woman next to Tiger doesn't appear to be his wife, Elin Nordegren -- which begs the question, do you think she knew where he was that night?

Chris Henry suffered "grave injuries" in a truck accident in North Carolina yesterday, this according to Cincinnati Bengals president Mike Brown.

Brown released a statement on the team website this morning saying, "Chris has suffered grave injuries in an accident in Charlotte. We are monitoring the situation and awaiting further word on his condition.

We are stunned to have learned this news, and our prayers are with Chris. Rusty Guy, our director of security, is arriving in Charlotte this morning. He will be in close touch with the appropriate parties and will offer the club's assistance to Chris' family gathered there."

Tonga had gone to her MySpace page, writing about how she just "put deposIt down 4 weDDing piCs... Paid 4 ouR riNgs."

Hours later, cops say Chris and Loleini were involved in a "domestic situation" -- which led to the truck accident.

Cops say Henry is currently in a North Carolina hospital battling "life threatening injuries."

Chris Henry's fiancee, Loleini Tonga, had no visible injuries ... law enforcement tells TMZ.

A law enforcement official in North Carolina tells us they "observed no visible injuries" on Tonga at the scene of the accident.

Cops said there was a "domestic situation" just before Henry fell out of the back of the truck. Authorities are investigating whether Henry jumped off the truck or whether he was thrown.

The official says they are investigating the possibility the Cincinnati Bengal was thrown from the truck after Tonga swerved back and forth.

Police tell TMZ Henry had been involved in a "domestic situation" with his fiancee, Loleini Tonga, in North Carolina, when she tried to leave her home in a pick-up truck. Cops say that's when Chris ran after the yellow truck and hopped into the bed.

Cops say the domestic dispute continued in the back of the truck until, "Mr. Henry came out of the back of the vehicle."

We're told when cops arrived to the scene, Henry was still in the middle of the road, and suffering from "life threatening injuries."

According to KYPost.com, Henry is believed to have suffered "severe head injuries."

Henry was transported to a local hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment.

We're told a crime scene unit is currently at the scene conducting an investigation.

An official from Puma -- the athletic wear company -- has confirmed they are in "internal discussions" to sign Elin as a spokesperson for a new Swedish-inspired clothing line called Tretorn.

The rep tells us Puma is after Elin because they feel she's "a good brand fit."

We could not reach Elin for comment.
