Rockstar Games has reportedly picked up the Tiger Woods endorsement and gaming franchise at a bargain price after EA Sports divorced itself of the young sports star in December, 2009. Rockstar will be developing Tiger Wood's golf titles exclusively in its new five-year deal. They have a lot of ideas for the franchise.

"We wanted to take (Tiger Woods PGA Tour) in a new direction," Rockstar spokesman Rodney Walker told us, "Golf is great and all, but we feel that we can take the best elements of the core game and combine them with the winning aspects of Bully, Leisure Suit Larry, and possibly a splash of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law."

In addition to existing statistics such as "approach" and "accuracy," players will be managing the personal life of their avatar. A new "PR Rating" system is being introduced, which will increase with game performance, allowing the gamer access to product endorsement deals and merchandising, achievements, swag for their character, and access to high-powered attorneys. Adding mistresses increases game performance stats such as accuracy, putting, and luck, but can significantly reduce the gamer's PR Rating.

While best-known for its Grand Theft Auto franchise, Rockstar Games is no stranger to sports games. Its title Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis won significant critical acclaim. The game is scheduled to release sometime in the third quarter of 2010.
