Well, they say there’s no such thing as bad publicity, and while Tiger Woods’ business manager, accountants, and wife might disagree, EA Sports might not. Take a look at the graph below (from appshopper) which charts the sales of Electronic Art’s Tiger Woods Golf for the iPhone over the last 30 days.

As you can see, a fairly noticeable downward sales trend (due to a price increase) was abruptly halted and then reversed, starting a couple days ago as the really salacious details of his extramarital affairs started coming out (around when mistresses 231, 232, and 233 hit the talk show circuit).

For a game that has been out since April 30th to see such a dramatic turn around without a price cut or new ad campaign can mean only one thing: If Tony Hawk wants the number one iPhone game, his wife better get ready to chase his SUV down the street with a skateboard in her hands.
