Tiger, Golf Digest split
NEW YORK (AFP) — Tiger Woods and Golf Digest announced the end of the golf star’s 13-year relationship with the magazine on Thursday, what had been the second-longest sponsorship deal for the 14-time major champion.
Two weeks after Gillette said it would not renew an endorsement deal with Woods, Golf Digest became the fifth sponsor to drop the former world number one since details of his multiple affairs became public late in 2009.
“Golf Digest and Tiger Woods have mutually agreed to stop his monthly bylined articles,” Golf Digest editor in chief Jerry Tarde said in a statement. “We appreciate the insights Tiger has provided to our readers.”
Woods, whose writings offered tips for golfers, will have his final column in the magazine’s February issue. Woods put his columns on hold last February during his five-month break from golf but resumed them last September.
“I enjoyed my relationship with Golf Digest but we have decided it’s now time for a break,” Woods said in a statement released by the magazine.
“I wish my friends at Golf Digest continued success.”
