Video game goliath Electronic Arts, Inc. have announced that they will continue to stand by and support Tiger Woods, the World’s No.1 golfer, despite the recent controversy surrounding his personal life. Woods has stated that he’s taking a step back from the professional game indefinitely, but that isn’t stopping the release of Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online later this month.
Peter Moore, President of EA Sports vowed in a company blog to do everything he can to back the California-born potting ace and praises him as one of “the greatest athletes in history,” and wasn’t getting dragged into speaking of his personal life, stating, “Our relationship with Tiger has always been rooted in golf.”
Tiger Woods has been involved with EA Sports now for over a decade, seeing a total of 12 major gaming titles released under his name, and remains one of the company’s highest selling series’. With this news emerging we’re sure that there will be many more to come, even if he won’t be playing professionally himself for the time-being. Who knows, maybe he’ll end up picking up a copy himself.
