Another corporate giant has decided to ditch Tiger Woods in the rough.

AT&T announced today that it would no longer sponsor Woods following weeks of allegations that the 14-time major winner cheated on his wife. The telecommunications giant is the second major company to cut its ties to Woods, joining Accenture.

Woods was the host of an AT&T-sponsored PGA event in July and the AT&T logo appeared on Woods’ golf bag.

Woods earlier this month apologized for his ‘transgressions’ against his family and later announced that he would be taking an indefinite leave from golf.
