Tiger Woods deep in the woods

Friday Jan 1, 2010

AT&T says it will no longer sponsor top golfer Tiger Woods, who announced earlier this month that he would take an indefinite break from the sport.

The company joins Accenture and Gillette in dropping support for the golfer after he admitted to “infidelity” to his wife.

AT&T’s logo appeared on the golfer’s bag. The company did not comment on its reasons for dropping Woods.

AT&T said it would continue to sponsor the AT&T National PGA event in July.

In a terse statement, AT&T said: “We are ending our sponsorship agreement with Tiger Woods and wish him well in the future.”

The deal had been billed as a “multi-year” agreement when it was announced at the beginning of 2009.
