Golf:The Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer insisted on Monday night they remain undecided about whether to continue their seven-year association with Tiger Woods.

Management consultants Accenture have already pulled the plug on their deal with Woods, claiming he is "no longer the right representative", while Gillette are phasing the world's number one golfer out of their advertising.

Reports had stated Tag Heuer had decided to back Woods, with a press spokeswoman quoted as saying that his personal problems were "not our business".

However, Tag Heuer's vice-president of communications stressed the company have not yet made an official decision over whether to continue their relationship with Woods.

"We remain with the same attitude, which means that for time being we have no comment. What is in the reports is not the official position," Francoise Bezzola said.

"We are not announcing that we will keep Tiger and we are not announcing we will drop Tiger Woods. We are still considering it and we haven't taken a decision yet."

Bezzola added that Tag Heuer are expected to make public their decision by the end of this week.

American telephone giant AT&T are also considering their position with regards to Woods but he has the backing of Nike.

Woods, who is married to Swedish former model Elin Nordegren, has been swamped by a series of affair allegations since crashing his car in mysterious circumstances on November 27th.

The 33-year-old has taken an indefinite break from golf after admitting his infidelity in an attempt to save his marriage.
