I haven't bought a Tiger woods game since 05 so no biggie for me.

But that would be interesting to see what EA does. Losing the Tiger Woods name and making the next one PGA 2011 would give them a great chance to re-invent the franchise and make it AAA like they've done with NHL and FIFA and to some degree Madden. I think this could be great for them, plus they don't have to pay Tiger Woods anything if his name isn't there.

That's what they did with the Wii version and improved last year with WM+... Tiger Woods 2010 with WM+ is the best sports game I've played in years.  Though I do want to pick up Fifa sometime soon and try that out.

As for losing the Tiger Woods name I think it totally lies in the hands of Tiger, EA probably sees this as a chance where all eyes are on Tiger ("any publicity is good publicity" as they say) and could increase interest.  The PGA Tour still wants him they never dropped support for him so its not like they'd back out of the deal either if they called the PGA game Tiger Woods 2011... So honestly I don't see it dropping Tigers name unless he himself doesn't want the deal anymore.

I never thought of that "any publicity..." part. Good call. It could be good for them.

I'd still like to see them re-invent the franchise though. It's gotten so stale over past years.
