Gatorade cuts endorsement ties with Tiger Woods

Add Gatorade to the list of endorsement deals that Tiger Woods has lost.

A representative for the drink, sold by PepsiCo Inc., confirmed late Friday that it had ended its relationship with the golfer, who made a lengthy public apology last week for his infidelities.

"We no longer see a role for Tiger in our marketing efforts and have ended our relationship," a Gatorade spokeswoman said. "We wish him all the best."

Phoenix Open: Mark Wilson charged and Camilo Villegas faltered. The result was a two-way tie for the lead at 11-under 131 halfway through the Phoenix Open. Wilson birdied the last four holes for a 5-under 66, while Villegas bogeyed No. 18 when he missed a 14-foot putt for par. The 28-year-old Colombian settled for a 69 after tying the tournament first-round record with a 9-under 62 on Thursday at Scottsdale, Ariz.

HSBC Champions: Angela Stanford shot a 1-under 71 for a share of the lead with Song-Hee Kim after the second round of the HSBC Champions at Singapore. Stanford and Kim (70) had 5-under 139 totals on Tanah Merah's Garden Course.
