Tiger Could Make Wii U Debut Next Year
by 
The recent discussion surrounding the dismal outlook of sports gaming on the Wii U was predicated on the appearance that EA Sports could be abandoning the console already and that regardless it’ll be left behind when the next Xbox and PS4 arrive late this year.
Though there is still little evidence that the Wii U will ever be more than the afterthought it is now for sports it may still at least end up getting entries from the larger franchises. A thread on Neogaf includes some insight from an EA producer implying that the Tiger Woods series will make its way over in 2014.Â

The only sports game that was stronger critically and financially on the original Wii compared to the 360 and PS3 was Tiger…until his transgressions came to light and sales plummeted. Still going without an entry this year was telling in regards to support from third parties and perceptions towards Nintendo. Loyalty is built early and not having an entry this year is damaging especially considering the Wii U/360/PS3 versions will be seen as “last-gen” by this time next year no matter what benefits come from utilizing the tablet controller.
