Tiger Woods, EA Sports Mutually Part Ways by NewsyVideos
Since 1998 (when it introduced the "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 99" game for Playstation) EA Sports has sold around $771 million worth of games using Tiger Woods' name in the title.
But, according to an
October 29th 2013 report from ESPN, that relationship has ended:
"We had an incredible run," said Woods' agent Mark Steinberg, who explained the latest contract had expired. "Outside of [John] Madden, you would be hard pressed to find a sports figure that meant as much to a video game company as Tiger meant to EA. But times are changing and EA had to re-evaluate the partnership, and frankly so did we."
