NO MINT ON THIS TIGER'S PILLOW: WOODS WINS MEDAL DEBATE

          IMG announced that Tiger Woods has won a "substantial"
     monetary settlement and a permanent injunction barring
     Franklin Mint and its owners from using the golfer's name
     and likeness on any products or merchandise.  The injunction
     will be entered by a federal court in L.A. as a final
     settlement of the suit.  Specific terms of the settlement
     were not disclosed.  Following Woods' victory at The Masters
     last year, Franklin Mint, without authorization, issued for
     sale a "Tiger Woods Eyewitness Commemorative Medal."  Woods
     was represented in the suit by Mark Lee of the L.A. firm
     Manatt, Phelps & Phillips (IMG).  Franklin Mint spokesperson
     Mona Liss said the company settled because "there was no
     longer any interest" in the Woods medal, "so we decided this
     would be the best way to resolve our differences" (USA
     TODAY, 4/16).  Reports state that Franklin Mint sold between
     2,000-2,500 Woods medals for $37.50 (AP/Mult., 4/16).
