Tiger And EA Sports Go Their Separate Ways


Since 1998, EA Sports has annually released a Tiger Woods PGA Tour video game, starting with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 99 on the PlayStation and PC. The games have been critically praised for more than a decade, but Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14, released in March, will be the last game in the series named after the current world No. 1. EA Sports is keeping its partnership with the PGA Tour, but in a statement released online, EA VP and GM of Golf Daryl Holt wrote that the decision to discontinue the relationship with Woods 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.

Wonder if that means we’ll no longer be paying $60-$70 for the new version of the game.
