Gillette is dropping Tiger Woods.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the company said, "As Tiger takes a break from the public eye, we will support his desire for privacy by limiting his role in our marketing programs."
Gatorade already announced it would be dropping Woods but unlike Gillette, it says the decision had nothing to do with the mistress scandal. Click here for that story.
AT&T is reconsidering its association with Woods. Click here for more.
The announcement followed on the heels of Woods' announcement Friday that he was taking time away from golf "indefinitely." Click here for more on that and for his complete statement.
Gillette says Woods will be phased out from the company's TV and print advertising. Video of two of Woods Gillette commercials as well as AP's report on the story are below.

She's not pimping her articles today?
Glad Tiger is taking this decision. There's no point in being the champion of the world in sport if your own personal life is in shambles. Balance is the key. Good decision Tiger. Your family needs you now.
Pimping? Like prostitution? Don't remember my articles being that "hot". Wow :-) Maybe you just don't like them, perhaps? Sorry to hear that, I'd be more than happy to subscribe to you and read your material. Take care and God bless. I will check through my site again to see if there really is anything that spicy. I hope there is! http:(forward slash, forward slash)www(dot)examiner(dot)com/x-29076-SF-World-Travel-Examiner
