Tiger Woods announced plans to return to competitive
golf at the Masters next month. While several sponsors have terminated their relationship with the golfer, companies that banked more directly on his athletic prowess, such as
Nike Inc. and Electronic Arts, stuck by him.
Woods dropped out of the golf world last December after revelations of his infidelities made him a mainstay of lurid headlines. Several of his sponsors, including accounting firm Accenture and telecommunications company AT&T, dropped him.
