(AP) -- NEW YORK - AT&T says it will no longer sponsor Tiger Woods, joining Accenture and Gillette in dropping support for the golfer after numerous allegations of infidelities.
AT&T Inc.'s logo appeared on Woods' golf bag, and he was the host of the AT&T National PGA event in July. The phone company says it will continue to sponsor the event.
AT&T did not comment on its reasons for dropping Woods, or how much the contract was worth. Woods has taken an indefinite leave from playing.
