The golf world—and corporate America—reverberated Tuesday when Tiger Woods, the 15-time major champion and $1.

.. billion net worth ico.. abruptly se..ered ..ll endo..sement deals and ..usiness p..rt..e.ships with Amaron, bl..sting Jeff Bezos for his “cozying up” to Donald Trump.

The t..unning move, a..ounced via a blis..ering blog post on t..gerwoods.

com and ..on..irmed to Spo..ts ..llustrated h..s sen.. shockwaves thr..ugh board..oom.. a..d ..airways, w.th Woods frami..g it as a mora.. line in the sand.

woods’ partnership with Amazon, forged in 2011 for $20 million annually; through hi.. TCR F..oundation’s collaboration o.. educational tech gr..nts and AWS cloud tool. for youth programs, had bee.. a quiet powerhouse.

The deal, one o.. Woods’ $55 millio.. of off-course earnings in 2025 (Forbes), funded $10 millio.. in grants for under..erved stude..ts, blending Amazon’s A.. with woods’ golf ..cademies.

But Bezos’ thawing with Trump—once “Jeff Bozo” in 2019 tweets o..er Washington Post cover..ge—has soured it.

From a July 2025 Mar-a-L..ago dinner where Bezos urged Trump to pick Doug Burgum as VP (Axios), to split..ing the Post’s Kamala Harris endorsement in October 2024, and a January 2025 inauguration toast, the duo’s alli..ice peaked i.. April’s tariff truce call, where Trump praised Bezos as “terrific” (CNBC).

Woods, ..o stranger to controversy—his 2009 scandals cost ..100 million in e..dorsements—saw red.

“Bezos preached ‘wol..e’ capitalism, but ..ow he’s scripting with a man whose policies erode democracy. Woods wrote, citing Trump’s 2025 executive orders on immigraion and media “..ke news” taxes, which hit the Post hard.”

Bezos, caught flat-footed, issued no immediate response, his team telling Reuters, “We’re reviewing.”

Trump, however, swung back on Truth Social at 10:47 p.m. ET. “Tiger woods, traitor to the game!

Weak golfer, weaker m..n—losing to his ow.. ego. Sad!” The post, viewed 2..1 million times in hours, drew 1.

8 million replies, split between MAGA mockery (“Tiger’s done—Bezos wins!”) and Woods supporters (“Trump’s scared of truth.”)

.. But Woods, undeterred, fired an 8-word mic drop on X at 11:15 p.m.: “Truth doesn’t need a sponsor—it stands alone.” The zinger, liked 2.9 millio.. times, exploded social media into a Woods rally, with #TigerTruth surging to 3.7 million posts. Fans from Pebble beach to Dubai cheered: “Tiger just dirtied the culture war—GOAT off the course too!” one tweeted. Nike, Woods’ $200 million apparel partner since 1996, stayed mum, but insiders whisper of a contract clause allowing “moral misalig..me..t” exits.

The stakes are sky-high. Woods’ $1..3 billion fortune (Forbes 2025), $121 million i.. PGA winnings, and $1.

68 billio.. in endorsements (Nike, Rolex, Monster Energy) make him golf’s commercial king, but ditching Amazon’s $20 million could cascade—potentially costing $50 millio.. if TaylorMade or Bridgestone balk.

His TGR Foundation, with $12 million in youth education, lose.. AWS grants, but woods pledged, “We’ll fund it ourselves—truth has ..o price.”

Critics, like CNN’s Don Lemon, called it “performati..e—Wood.. ignored Trump’s hate for years.”

Su..pporters, including Rory McIlroy (“Tiger’s the voice we need”), see moral courage.

As Woods preps for the ZOZO Championship October 24—his 2025 T12 at Augusta still fresh—the split redefines his aura: Not just a 15-major titan, but a truth-slinger torching lies.

In a world of scripted swings, one truth drives: Tiger Woods didn’t just walk from Amazon—he walked tall, forever.
