Tiger Woods and LeBron James celebrate their Birthdays

It's certainly a festive time of year, and for Tiger Woods and LeBron James there's even more reason to celebrate- today is their birthday!

The PGA golf pro turns 35 years old today, though things are much different today than they were last year at this  time.

Over the course of 2010 Tiger was found to have slept with more than a dozen women outside of his marriage to Elin Nordegren, and he suffered a messy divorce and the collapse of multiple endorsement deals, not to mention a decline in his professional career.

And it seems that his extramarital affairs continue to bite him in the backside, as the pro golfer was recently dropped from his endorsement deal with Gillette.

Tiger's contract with Procter & Gamble will not be renewed, according to a report from Gossip Cop.

Woods is no stranger to losing lucrative deals, as Accenture LLP, AT&T, and Gatorade have all cut him from their ranks since it was discovered that he was involved in multiple affairs last year.

Meanwhile, LeBron turns 26 the same year that he upset many fans in his native Cleveland, Ohio after ditching the Cavaliers in favor of playing for the Miami Heat.

Pairing up the league's two most-talked-about teams for a holiday extravaganza, James and the Miami Heat took on Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas Day (December 25). The game was not what the LA crowd had hoped for, as the visiting Heat squad ended up rolling over the hometown team with a score of 96-80.

Here's hoping 2011 is a positive year for both of these top-shelf athletes.
