Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will take on hosting duties at tonight's event and were allegedly preparing to make some references to the golfer's recent infidelity.
However, the writer who penned the quips has now told the New York Post that producers decided to remove the jokes from the script.
"Some of the Tiger jokes were deemed too rude," the source explained.
The 2010 Academy Awards will be televised live tonight on ABC at 5pm PT/8pm ET in the US and from 1am on Sky Movies Premiere in the UK.
