EA Sticking With Tiger Woods

After two months of speculation today EA Sports officially announced Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11. This comes as somewhat of a surprise as indications were at least that considerations were being made otherwise. From the beginning the biggest concern has been that the Tiger franchise sells the most on the family friendly Wii. As such it will be interesting to see how the game fares this year compared to last.

This news comes just days after Tiger Woods checked into a sex rehab clinic. Several companies have either dropped him or distanced themselves since the events began. Over 10 mistresses have come forward, text messages and voicemails added a personal angle, and Ambien-fueled sex romps have been detailed. That Tiger stepped away from golfing for an indefinite period of time has made for no opportunity to change the story.

Also announced today is that the Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online open beta has opened up. The free web-based game has been in closed beta for some time now. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 will release in June for the 360, PS3, Wii, and iPhone.

Tiger Woods is keeping a low profile while he heals his wounds..literally..his face is busted..we'd all have forgotten this by now if he wouldnt have been so secretive. He has made a public appreaence since...that being said hes a winner...if TMZ wouldnt have blown this up it would be no different than Jordan of Bill Cosby for that matter..talk about role models..This will actually increase golf exposure again..and actually make changes to the game. Tiger will come back and people will watch. If Tiger had an 80% approval rating before..I bet only 40% of them watched every weekend...now if he has 40% approval he'll still have his loayists and now have an extra 30% guaranteed watching him to fail and if hes gonna breakdown or someones gonna say something...hints the game change. Who will be able to play with Tiger? He's use to the noise and the cameras and all that..but the other guys arent and have proven it. Its only gonna get worse so if they think it was bad before..

lol..you guys are funny. I bet if any of you had Tigers money and fame, and women were throwing them selves at you all year long we might all be in the same boat. How many athletes do this? How many wifes probably know and just turn there head? He made a mistake and he has to live with it now, but I think its crazy that one day you love him and play his game all day long and the next he is the Devil. Everybody deserves a second chance and everybody on this blog including myself has done something wrong that we got a second chance on.

no some people have morals and some people do love their wives and would never do anything to hurt them...all men are not dogs..i wouldn't hurt my wife by cheating if i had twice his money.i would take your bet anytime

Ryan

I been married for 4 years now, never cheated...you comment is irrelevant

chonch84

then it doesnt apply to you dumb dumb, 4 years... you havent even got to the good part yet. but if you have kids the rest of that comment does apply to you.

Jesus you guys make me laugh, Tiger deserves a chance to make things right. Who isnt addicted to sex i dont blame him at all, he could have a far worse addiction. the sex with all of these women was consenual so i dont see the big deal. Yea he cheated on his wife and i promise you he is going to pay dearly for that, that is none of our business. But how many guys on this thread alone havent cheated on a spouse or had the thought or means to do it, i would say 8 out of 10 guys minimum. If you have the arguement that he is a role model for your kids then maybe you need to step your game up as a father because I and I alone make an example for my son, I refuse to leave that to some stranger that i dont know personally. I explain to my kids that they should aspire to lead there own lives not the lives of others, makes no sense for a child to look up to an individual in sports only to have their image of that athlete crushed when news like this comes out.

Why is everyone so concerned where Tiger puts his dick? If we banned every athlete who has broken the law of had an indiscretion, whether they got caught or not, there would be no one left to be a cover athlete. Lets see, Linceum busted for weed 2k9, McNair graced the cover of Madden we all know his story, Jordan was a womanizer and a high stakes gambler.

Stop making these guys out to be something they are not. They are fallible, they are not role models, they are no better or worse then everyone else.

Get over it and live your own lives, be concerned with your own actions, they are th eonly thing you can control and should be concentrating on.

When did McNair grace the cover of Madden? Stating that every athlete is a drug smoking, sex addict, law breaking citizen is a bit much. There are a ton of great athletes who carry themselves as well off the field as they do on the field.

It's not so much the issue of Tiger doing a bunch of honeys, it's the fact that he was married when he did it. To many families who buy these games this is a huge issue. Why EA would stick with him is ludicrous. I would rather EA go back to PGA Tour Golf then stick with Tiger. I wish nothing but the best for Tiger but it sends a bad message....

Ozmosis

Most of the families buy these games because the kids are staying with their mom and dad feels guilty for fucking the babysitter..theres no more morality in the american family than in Tigers american family..I find it hilarious when people say theres all kinds of atheletes that are good off the field as on..name 7..because Tiger was one of them before thanksgiving..

Sidewinder

Well they really didn't have any other options aside from putting the game on hold.

Once Tiger gets over his Waffle House waitress addiction and realizes that his wife is about as hot as they come, I think he'll get back on track.

GoMagic

EA is banking that Tiger will perform at the Masters (April) to give some momentum to the Summer release of the game.

I dont blame EA as eventually the world will get over this whole thing. Remember, they are trying to make Tiger a long term brand just like Madden is. Eventually Tiger will play golf again and this whill all be just a funny story.

sroeland

I can't imagine there will be a lot of promotion for this game.

Seeing as many of the sponsors completely pulled TW from their campaigns, using his name and likeness as the main point of your product seems like financial suicide.

And aside from Tiger himself, this game has become stale on next-gen consoles anyway. TW 11 for 360 and PS3 needs an update when it comes to courses, game modes and AI tournament scoring.

lonnie

oh wow! win a tournament and you can chose which hoe you want! too many bogeys and it's back to sex rehab you go....and they say EA never puts anything new in their game...

.......

i think they should add a new mini-game where you are tiger wood's wife and your mission is to use his golf club and wreck his SUV as much and as fast as possible.......kinda like Street Fighter 2 where you would have your character destroy a car between matches........it would definitely spice things up a bit from the actual game.

Ricky

they should put Anthony Kim

Fred

They are greedy people don't you get it? If they can make money off of him, why not take advantage of him.

boltin94

c'mon EA this is a terrible decision! you don't have a known sex addict as your cover guy, i don't care who he is

Ozmosis

youre being a tard and over exaggerating..the sex addict thing is purely PR..hes hiding his face after he got it smashed in by his wife..Either way Tiger is still the best and just created more buzz...this is so over hyped and blown out of proportion...

Brian Mann

I don't understand this at all. I can't see any improvements made from last years now. No Tiger = No input and no commercials. They need to give us more courses like the Wii version. Include a 2nd add on disc with the game if need be.
