In October 2025, golfer Tiger Woods announced he was severing all endorsements and business ties with Amazon due to its founder Jeff Bezos’ relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump
A rumor that circulatedonline in October 2025 claimed that golfer Tiger Woods announced he was cutting all endorsements and business ties with Amazon due to its founder Jeff Bezos’ relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump. “You support Trump, you support hate. I cannot be a part of that,” Woods reportedly wrote on his personal blog.
Snopes readers searched the site looking for more information on the claim.
Other Facebook users also shared the same claim. Some of those posts featured links in top comments leading to articles hosted by WordPress blogs, such as one advertisement-filled story hosted on the blog.vira.com domain.
However, searches of Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google and Yahoo found no news outlets reporting about Woods and Bezos’ supposed split. News outlets that cover golf would have reported this rumor, if true.
In addition, there were no posts on Woods’ socialmedia profiles related to the claim and Snopes could not find evidence Woods and Amazon ever had business ties in the first place. The golfer has not played professionally in over a yearwhile recovering from two separate back surgeries.
Rather, the person or people who authored the story fabricated the entire tale as one of hundreds of posts aimed to earn advertising revenue on websites linked from the aforementioned Facebook posts.
An examination of Golf Club, one of the Facebook pages spreading the claim, found that while some posts contained edited images, otherscontained images and text generated by artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
Snopes frequently investigates rumors about celebrities, some of which have been spread with the help of AI tools. We previously checked another false claim about Woods that said he was suing U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for $50 million.
