NEW YORK (

TheStreet

) --

Tiger Woods

allowed

AT&T

(T) - Get Report

to back out of its contract with Woods without paying off the rest of its deal, according to the

New York Times

.

The article says that AT&T confirmed it was able to drop Woods as its company spokesman without paying even a dime of what it owed the golfer or going to court.

Accenture

(ACN) - Get Report

is reportedly another former Woods sponsor that managed to drop the golfer without having to go to court.

Sponsors including

Nike

(NKE) - Get Report

and

Electronic Arts'

(ERTS)

EA Sports division still stand by him. It's worth noting that the marketing strategies of those firms are

almost inextricably intertwined with Woods' image

.
