AT&T is latest to end Tiger Woods sponsorship

AT&T Inc. said it will no longer sponsor Tiger Woods, joining Accenture and Gillette in dropping support for the golfer after numerous allegations of infidelities.
The phone company hasn\'t used Woods\' image extensively in advertising, but its logo appeared on his golf bag.
That deal had been billed as a \"multi-year\" agreement when it was signed early in 2009.
Woods has also been the host of the AT&T National PGA Tour event since it started in 2007.
The phone company said it will continue to sponsor the event, which will be held in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, in July.
AT&T did not comment on its reasons for dropping Woods, or how much his contracts were worth.
Woods has taken an indefinite leave from playing.
