The Tiger Woods scandal has cost the great golfer his once pristine image. Heās still a fantastic athlete; just the populous at large thinks heās a horn dog.
While the affair has meant US$12 billion in lost wealth for sponsors, EA Sports stated it would be sticking with Tiger Woods Online.
āOur relationship with Tiger has always been rooted in golf,ā Moore wrote on his official blog earlier this year. āWe didnāt form a relationship with him so that he could act as an armās length endorser. Far from it. We chose to partner with Tiger in 1997 because we saw him as the worldās best, most talented and exciting golfer.ā

āBy his own admission, heās made some mistakes off the course,ā Moore added. āBut regardless of whatās happening in his personal life, and regardless of his decision to take a personal leave from the sport, Tiger Woods is still one of the greatest athletes in history.ā
Last month, EA Sports announced, āAt this time, the strategy for our Tiger Wood PGA Tour business remains unchanged.ā Times change.

In a third party survey released through Greenfield Online (hosted by survey software developed Askia), it seems that EA Sports is less than confident regarding its relationship with the golf superstar. The survey starts with general questions about various sports games and then pops doozies like:
EA SPORTS mades a Tiger Woods video game. Has the controversy made your impressions of EA SPORTS more or less favorable, or has it had no impact?
ā¦andā¦
Has the controversy made you more or less likely to buy a Tiger Woods related video game in the future?
As Kotaku previously posted, Woods, of course, has lost deals with AT&T and Accenture since a bizarre car crash Nov. 27 stoked rumors of Woodsā infidelity, which later exploded into allegations of liaisons with multiple mistresses. Woods has since announced an indefinite leave from the tour while he works to repair his marriage and family life.
Answer these survey questions yourself.
