Tiger Woods -n- EA Forever! Ummm. Not!

     Tiger Woods and EA announced today that their 15 yr. relationship has finally come to an end. Many thought it would end much earlier due to the debacle that emerged between Tiger and his wife back in 09'. Daryl Holt, EA VP and GM of Golf, released a statement today stating that the separation was mutual.

"EA SPORTS and Tiger Woods have also made a mutual decision to end our partnership, which includes Tiger’s named PGA TOUR golf game. We’ve always been big fans of Tiger and we wish him continued success in all his future endeavors.
Moving forward, we will continue to work with the PGA TOUR exclusively to create groundbreaking golfing titles and our partnership remains strong."

     That's right. No more tiger when playing golf on your current or next gen gaming systems after this upcoming release of the franchise.

     We have been hit with a few changes this year when it comes to sports games. The end of NCAA Football and the separation of Tiger from EA have felt like a bad breakup for some of the franchises core gamers. EA will still continue to make a PGA Golf game but will it still have the same feel as the Tiger branded games or can they find a new cover man to continue the golf franchise?

     Here is a screenshot comparing current gen and next gen golf. What do you think?
