EA stands by Tiger Woods

You do know about the recent (and still ongoing) controversy that the world's top golfer, Tiger Woods, is embroiled in, don't you? Well, as you know, it's not only his family life and reputation that hangs in the balance here, but also his product endorsements. These endorsements usually are based heavily on the personality's good rep, and well, if it ain't good, they're most likely to pull the rug from under you because they don't want their product to be affiliated with tainted ware so to speak.

But not EA. Seems like it doesn't matter to the publisher how many more ladies come forward exposing their illicit affair with the Tiger, they're sticking it out with their man. While Tiger Woods does not endorse EA Sports per se, he does have a game franchise with the publisheer, Tiger Woods PGA Tour. And contrary to what Forbes is positing, EA isn't about to ditch their golden boy.

A company spokesperson officially stated that, "There is no change in our marketing strategy for the franchise. Our strong relationship with Tiger for more than a decade remains unchanged." Well they do have a long - and successful - history to back them up. Besides, as Gamerinvestments put it, "There is simply no other golfer that EA sports can replace him with and there is no way they are going to stop making one of their most successful games."

Womanizer or not, Tiger Woods brings home the bacon for EA Sports, and that's all that matters.

I gave Tiger the benefit of the doubt when this all started, and still didn't think anything less of him when it was two women making the claim (cmon he's Tiger Woods, he's gonna cheat on his wife with at least one). But now that 12 women have made the claim, at least 6 of them making a pretty convincing case and/or having evidence, that's just wrong, especially while your wife is pregnant. This guy's rep is ruined. Some of the chicks saying they did him are downright creepy looking too, really trashy looking whores, and he's not denying any of it.

Plus his wife looks better than all of them combined. Stupid Eldrick

She won't get any more than he's already offered her in the prenuptial. She doesn't deserve any more. I never saw her make one put.

Dude got a prenup :) His cash is safe.

They aren't gonna make as many sales with Phil Mickelson Golf. Tiger's 1st mistake, besides the hos, was paying off the first girl to not have her press conference. The others then came out of the woodwork. No one knows what goes on in the household; maybe she wasn't putting out (not in the golf sense haha I just got a new Tiger joke).

I hope something to do with this drama is unlockable content in Tiger Woods '11

I really wanted to see them refine the disc golf for Tiger Woods 11, but apparently the team working on that was cut in the most recent lay offs at EA.
