I did some searching for Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods images on various talk shows (probably the two most highly sponsored professional athletes in history) and could not find an image of them appearing with sponsor logo (but I only looked at a fraction of these images, so that does not mean there are none).

It looks like when he is in the studio he is wearing slacks and a sports coat with no hat or logos, but one year they did play it on the big screen in Times Square, and there it seems that he is wearing a swoosh logo on his shirt, and probably his cap as well.
