Tiger Woods, wife, fly out of Orlando on private jet

Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren left Orlando on a private jet in the wake of a public apology Woods made in an attempt to repair his name.

Woods was believed to be making his way back to rehab, which Nordegren had earlier reportedly attended as a significant other for counselling sessions.

The former swimsuit model, who had been without her wedding ring and frosty toward Woods, had played an hour of tennis with her spouse late on Saturday before preparing to fly out, RadarOnline reported.

Woods spent the previous 45 days at a sex rehab clinic. Whether or not the couple were headed from Orlando back to the Pine Grove Clinic in Mississippi or to a different centre was unknown, Radar said.

Accenture ending sponsorship deal with Tiger Woods

A major sponsor for Tiger Woods announced Sunday that it is dropping the golf star in light of recent controversy swirling around his personal life.

Accenture, a management consulting firm, said on its Web site that "given the circumstances of the last two weeks ... the company has determined that he is no longer the right representative for its advertising."

The move ends a sponsorship arrangement that lasted six years.

Another major sponsor, Gillette, said Saturday it was "limiting" Woods' role in its marketing programs to give him the privacy to work on family relationships.

Woods announced on his own Web site Friday that he is taking an "indefinite break" from professional golf.

The 33-year-old golfer, who tops the sport's world rankings, has been mired in controversy since he crashed his car outside his Florida mansion late last month. In the week following the crash, Woods apologized for "transgressions" that let his family down, and US Weekly magazine published a report alleging that Woods had an affair with a 24-year-old cocktail waitress named Jaimee Grubbs.
