Tiger Woods and Golf Digest an-nounced the end of the golf star’s 13-year relationship with the magazine this week, what had been the second-longest sponsorship deal for the 14-time major champion.

Two weeks after Gillette said it would not renew an endorsement deal with Woods, Golf Digest became the fifth sponsor to drop the former no.1 since details of his affairs became public late in 2009.

“Golf Digest and Tiger Woods have mutually agreed to stop his monthly bylined articles,” Golf Digest editor in chief Jerry Tarde said in a statement.

“We appreciate the insights Tiger has provided to our readers.”

Woods, whose writings offered tips for golfers, will have his final column in the magazine’s February issue. Woods put his columns on hold last February during his five-month break from golf but resumed them last September.

Gatorade, AT&T and Accenture had already ended sponsor ties with Woods, whose oldest backer Nike stayed with him through a sex scandal that led to a divorce from Elin Nordegren last year and contributed to a winless 2010 season.

Golf Digest began ties with Woods after his record-smashing 1997 Masters triumph, the first of his major titles. Woods remains four shy of matching the all-time record of 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus.
