After the whole Tiger Woods scandal, his sponsorships were dropping like flys. But there was of one of the very few that stuck with him that through the tough time. EA Sports decided to continue there video game as Tiger Woods as their cover boy. Tiger's deviant acts cost him lots of money and fans can tell it is really affected his golf game. EA Sports may not have gotten rid of him but they went a different route for the cover. Instead of the usual Tiger picture on the cover they opted with a picture of the course at Augusta. Last years copy suffered severely because of the incident and comparing it to this years copy, in the same week the sales grew 200%, and were the highest its been in the 14 year history of the franchise.
I certainly disagree with Tigers deviant actions but I do believe that he knows what he did was wrong and that he is a changed man. I do believe that he will win again and that it is just a matter of time. In the classes on March 29th and 31st we were taught about deviance and where it had occurred in sports. Tiger's behavior referring to the world of golf and brought negative nation-wide attention to the sport. I believe the video game will continue to be a success because even if Tiger Woods retired tomorrow he would still be considered as on the of the best golfers of all time.
