In the study which focuses on celebrity endorsements, Ad Age found that Tiger was the least effective endorser during 2010.

The study closely monitored the impact of all nationally televised ads for the better part of 2010 and discovered "from Tiger Woods to Donald Trump, we found that with rare exception, celebrity endorsements were largely ineffective and failed to yield the benefits popular wisdom promises."

People are "more likely to be influenced by someone in their social network than a weak celebrity connection," the study contends.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, on Jan 6 the shamed golfer lost his 13-year endorsement deal with Golf Digest. Prior to loosing that, Tiger was also dropped by Proctor & Gamble, a company for which he promoted Gillette razors and shaving products.

We’re sure the folks at Golf Digest thought they had a great cover when they put together the January, 2010 issue.
