For years, EA Sports has teamed with golfing superstar Tiger Woods for a number of video games, starting back in 1998 with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 99 and leading up to this year’s Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14. However, from hereon in, it’ll be flying solo.
The company announced today that they have dropped Tiger Woods as the face of its golf game series. “EA Sports and Tiger Woods have also made a mutual decision to end our partnership, which includes Tiger’s named PGA Tour golf game,” said Daryl Hold, VP and GM of Gold at EA Sports. “We’ve always been big fans of Tiger and we wish him continued success in all his future endeavors.”
That said, the company will continue to work on golf games, and hinted at what’s to come with the next-generation of games with the above screenshot. “Moving forward, we will continue to work with the PGA Tour exclusively to create groundbreaking golfing titles and our partnership remains strong.”
Expect more details on the forthcoming PGA Tour golf title sometime later this year.
