At risk of stealing its own thunder, EA Sports confirmed today that its next console golf simulation will feature beleaguered superstar Tiger Woods in the title; EA's announcement came right as it opened the beta for its online golf game.

Announcing an open beta of EA Sports' browser-based PGA Tour game later this month, Peter Moore says EA Sports is sticking with embattled golfer Tiger Woods "on the masthead of this game."

This is hardly a shock - if Gatorade, Nike and Gillette aren't running from Tiger Woods, in light of his philandering, why would EA Sports? The publisher released a statement standing by the namesake of its golf franchise.

As seen on Jimmy Fallon's victory post.

When Tiger Woods appears on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon later this week he will be facing off with the show's host in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 on the Wii.

We're all for these blatant attempts at cross-promotion, whether it's Metal Gear Solid 4 in our LittleBigPlanet or Peggle in our World of Warcraft. And we're especially for it when it's Dead Space in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10.

EA has announced that Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and Grand Slam Tennis will be released a week earlier than scheduled in order to hit shelves the same time as the Wii MotionPlus.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 and EA Sports Grand Slam Tennis will be the first EA Sports games to feature Wii MotionPlus, Electronic Arts confirmed in a press release detailing the games.
