Ooh, that's got to sting. Tiger Woods has reportedly been dumped from his own game cover.
After a shocker past year for the golfing star, he apparently won't be on the cover in March when Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 comes out on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii.

reported that Woods' image has been replaced with a shot of the well-known yellow flag at the Augusta National Golf Club.
Sales of the game dropped last year.
Woods said: "There are many new and unique elements in the game that will make everyone feel like they're really competing at Augusta National. This is great for the sport and will connect a new audience with the Masters, a tournament I've been fortunate to experience since 1995."
Real test for your skills
Playing video games while getting paid seems a dream job and for one reality show contestant that dream that has come true.
Matthew Brown, aka Gaymer, has won the latest series of Sony's reality series, The Tester.
Besting 11 other contestants in a series of physical and mental challenges, Matthew landed a gig as Sony's newest video game tester in the quality assurance department.
In addition to the job, Matthew also landed a $6600 signing bonus, a 46-inch 3D Bravia TV, and a limited edition The Tester PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system.
"It's an absolute dream come true to have come out on top of The Tester," he said. "I had such an incredible experience participating in the challenges, demonstrating my leadership skills and sharing my passion and love for gaming."
The contest lasted eight weeks, with the entrants judged by Sony release manager Brent Gocke, reality television star Adrienne Curry, and weekly guests.
To see if you have what it takes to be an elite video game tester, the entire season is downloadable free from the PlayStation Store.
Tablet takes on iPad
The iPad will soon have some stiff competition.
Toshiba is getting ready to launch its Tablet, which it says will be ready by the middle of the year.
Jeff Barney, general manager of digital products for Toshiba America, said the company was looking to develop a family of tablets.
Toshiba will show off the tablet this week at the Consumer Electronics Show, an annual trade show held in Las Vegas.
Apple is estimated to have sold more than 12 million iPads last year.
