TIGER'S FACE DISAPPEARS OFF COVER OF OWN VIDEO GAME

FROM THE DAILY TELEGRAPH WEBSITE

Tiger Woods may have been hoping this year would be an improvement on the last but 2011 didn't get off to the best of starts after he was dropped from the cover of his own video game.
The fall-out from a high-profile sex scandal and his subsequent divorce meant 2010 was a year for Woods to forget off the course, while on it the world's most feared player resembled a shadow of his former self, losing his No 1 ranking to Lee Westwood.
His collapse in form and the savaging of his clean-cut image also saw Woods – formerly one of the world's most bankable athletes – dropped by sponsors including Gatorade, AT and T, Gillette and Accenture.
Now Electronic Arts has decided not to use the golfer's image on the cover of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters, to be released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii in March.
Instead, the cover will feature the iconic yellow flag at Augusta, the course where The Masters is played each year.
Woods will still be a playable character in the game and will appear on the front of the PlayStation 3 Collector's Edition of the game, which is more expensive and has extra features.
