EA signs six more years of Tiger

As Madden has become synonymous with football and Tony Hawk with skateboarding, so has Tiger Woods become the staple in the world of video golf. EA
knows that Tiger's face on a box will sell a game, and they are not about to tread far from convention. Electronic Arts today announced that they have secured the rights to use the golfer's name and likeness for the next 6 years, at least.

According to Metacritic, the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise has seen fairly consistent reviews,
although trending slightly downwards – the lowest score being the 2006 re-release on Xbox 360. Expect Tiger Woods PGA
Tour 2012 to arrive sometime in 2011, for PlayStation 4 and the Xbox 720.

EA drops 5% of its workforce, and earns 6 years of Tiger – I'm no mathematician, mind you, but 6 is greater 5 (converting units notwithstanding), so I think EA is coming out on top here.
