You might think that Tiger Woods had more pressing things on his mind than the concerns of certain members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). But commercial actors within the SAG, who are currently on strike for improved rights, got an unexpected boost when Woods demonstrated some touching solidarity.

Woods holds an SAG union card due to his various exploits in commercials, but when he recently began shooting his latest Nike ad he refused to cross the picket line of the striking SAG members. According to a SAG spokesperson, "the support of this international superstar was deeply appreciated".

For the same reasons, baseball star Nomar Garciaparra of the Boston Red Sox refused to shoot an ad for Dunkin' Donuts as he joined the SAG when he appeared in the ABC show Two Guys and A Girl. So, after all, it's not just about the money with these guys.
