General Motors in the US has ended an arrangement with golf star Tiger Woods, which allowed him access to free vehicles.

Woods, who had an endorsement contract with GM's Buick brand, has been told there will be no more GM motors for loan.

A GM spokesman said the loan arrangement had previously been scheduled to end on 31st December.

Woods, who has been caught up in a media storm since admitting to being unfaithful to his wife with over a dozen other women, is taking a break from professional golf to distance himself from the public gaze.

On 12th December Gillette became the first major sponsor of to distance itself from the golf star, quickly followed by management consultancy, Accenture, which said he was no longer the right representative.

On 31st December telecoms giant AT&T said it would no longer sponsor Woods and watchmaker Tag Heuer similarly scaled down its use of the stars image.

GM tells Tiger Woods he will have to pay for cars

I agree what he did was wrong but more so to his wife then the world! News always finds the worst in people not the best. However I believe the media should leave this family alone to work out their own ISSUES! Besides Tiger is getting more attention then Clinton did whats up with that? Tiger wasn’t sitting in the White House looking over the countries best interest was he? Tiger was wrong and he will pay for his mistakes but next time if the media really wants to do the right thing make news where it actually has to deal with the American peoples concerns! NEWS PEOPLE NEED to learn how and what to report on day in and day out!
