Question: What are Tiger Woods' Endorsements?
Answer: What are Tiger Woods' endorsements? It's easy enough to deciper which companies have endorsement deals or sponsorships with Woods - because Woods lists his sponsors on his Web site (tigerwoods.com).

In late-2011, Woods had endorsement deals with the following companies:

  • Nike Golf, which signed Woods in 1996 and built its golf division around Woods.
  • EA Sports (Electronic Arts), makers of the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise of video games, and the Tiger Woods Online game.
  • Rolex, the watch makers.
  • Fuse Science, sports drinks and "energy" nutritional products
  • Kowa, a diversified Japanese company whose pharmaceutical products include a pain medicine for which Woods does ads that air in Japan.
  • NetJets, which offers fractional ownerships of private jets.
  • TLC Laser Eye Centers, the vision-correction company whose doctors perform laser-vision surgeries.
  • Upper Deck, the sports cards and collectibles company.

Woods also is a PGA Tour "partner" (with content exchanged between TigerWoods.com and PGATour.com). He had a partnership with Golf Digest from 1997 through 2010, but in early 2011 the parties announced they were ending Woods' tips column for the magazine.

Among the Tiger Woods endorsements in the past that are no longer in effect were sponsorships with AT&T, Accenture, Gatorade, Buick (General Motors), Titleist, American Express, Gillette (Proctor & Gamble), General Mills and Tag Heuer.
