dropped by a major advertiser over his serial womanising.Consulting firm Accenture became the first of his sponsors to directly refer to the scandal, quoting the “circumstances of the last two weeks” for its decision.
Accenture – whose six-year relationship with the star is thought to have earned him £8million – said he was “no longer the right representative” after claims that the father of two has slept with at least 11 women behind the back of wife Elin, 29.
The move comes the day after Gillette announced it would be “limiting” the role of the golfer, who had been promoting male grooming products in their ads.
Woods, 33, the first billionaire sportsman, is paid to endorse several brands, including Nike, Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer, Pepsi and Electronic Arts. The latest blow comes as one of his alleged mistresses, model Jamie Jungers, claimed they were in bed together when his “beloved” dad died.

Jungers, 26, said he visited his cancer-stricken dad Earl in a hospice before cheating on wife Elin at their home in 2006.
She said: “I was in bed with Tiger wearing nothing but panties when his mum called to tell him his dad had passed away. He was heartbroken. I told him, ‘I’m so sorry’.”
She said Tiger called the next day to thank her for her support – but claimed she later ended the affair as Woods was a “cheap f*****” who “didn’t help me”.
Meanwhile, Woods’ caddie last night claimed he had “no knowledge” that the golf star was a love cheat.
New Zealander Steve Williams has carried Woods’ clubs for the past decade – and even made the billionaire his best man.
He said: “Whilst I’m a very good friend, I don’t know what he does off the course. I am not with him 24/7.”
