EA Sports’ Sales May Be Hurt by Tiger Woods Scandal, Browser-Based Game Will Tell

News about Tiger Woods’ latest escapades have been blasted all over the news these days and EA Sports is concerned about how this gossip will affect the sales of their PGA Tour video game and more importantly, of their golf franchise.

The video game manufacturer’s free of charge browser-based game Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online is already in closed beta testing. All we have to do is wait and see how the public responds. We’ll keep you posted on any developments.
