“You shouldn’t read anything into the fact that Tiger’s not featured on the box art of that particular edition.Tiger is right there on the PS3 version of the game with Move support, which was very good for us and Sony last year. “If the insinuation is it’s a reflection of EA Sports backing away from its relationship that goes back literally 13 years with Tiger, that’s not the case whatsoever,” said Moore. PGA exposed itself to this risk and now is facing the consequences.”ĭuring a media conference call to discuss the new game, EA Sports President Peter Moore said that the game publisher is standing by the former number one golfer in the world. But even if that was true, it says a lot about the PGA Tour and their over-reliance on one person to carry the whole league.

Woods has been replaced with a shot of the iconic yellow flag at Augusta National Golf Club, which is a major focus for the new game. This year, following the controversy away from the green and lackluster play on it, Woods has been dropped from the cover of the March 29th release of “Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters” on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii. Last year, Electronic Arts made the golfing great share the cover of his bestselling game with Northern Irish rookie Rory McIlroy for the first time ever.
