AceShowbiz - In the wake of Tiger Woods publicly acknowledging infidelity, Playgirl confirmed that it won't publish the golfer's nude photos which reportedly have been shopped around since last week. The announcement was issued to People by Daniel Nardicio, the director of marketing for the online adult magazine.
"Playgirl has decided to turn down the alleged Tiger Woods nude photos, reportedly taken by camera phone by Woods himself," Daniel said. "They were impossible to 100 percent verify, hence the unwillingness to go there."
On another news, Tiger Woods, who is rumored to get a visit from the Florida Department of Children and Families over the weekend, has lost several deals with sponsors. Gillette and At&T were two of the giant companies which distanced themselves from the athlete.
Bosses at Proctor & Gamble, which owns Gillette revealed, "As Tiger takes a break from the public eye, we will support his desire for privacy by limiting his role in our marketing programs." As for At&T, the company stated, "We support Tiger's decision and our thoughts will be with him and his family. We are presently evaluating our ongoing relationship with him."
Most recently, Accenture, a international consulting and outsourcing firm, is also ending their relationship with Woods, reasoning, "After careful consideration and analysis, the company has determined that he is no longer the right representative for its advertising. We wish only the best for Tiger Woods and his family."
