Another Sponsor Drops Tiger Woods
No more thirst quenchers for Tiger Woods!
Gatorade has confirmed they have dropped their endorsement deal with the embattled golfer. "I can confirm that we no longer see a role for Tiger in our marketing efforts and have ended our relationship," a Gatorade spokeswoman told AP Friday. "We wish Tiger all the best."
This is the third sponsor loss since the beleaguered golfer's philandering was exposed, with Gillette and global consulting firm Accenture also deciding not to stick with him.
Woods, who made his public apology Friday, still has deals in place with AT&T, Tag Heuer and Nike.
