Tiger Woods' recent fall from grace has been a well-publicized circus. Countless rumors of him cheating on his ex wife with hookers, pornstars and various other ugly slags, and falling from the number one spot for golfers in the world to fifty-fifth, his name has been something of a poison for companies, as evidenced by several sponsors pulling him from their ads and dropping him from their brands. EA, however, will not take that route (at least not completely)
The last issue of their sports sim Tiger Woods' PGA Tour 12 did not feature Tiger as the cover athlete for the first time ever. Instead EA opted for a flag. Many fans of the series wondered whether Tiger would be dropped completely form their brand, but EA has announced they will not take the easy way out. Instead, they held an online vote for who will be joining Tiger on the cover art of the next PGA game.
