MOVE OVER TIGER, Rory’s the new face of golf video games.

EA Sports announced today that Rory McIlroy will be the new faces of their next series of golf games with a release date of early June expected for ‘EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour’.

EA Sports previously had a 15-year partnership with 14-time Major champion Tiger Woods but that was ended in October 2013. They have now forged a new partnership with McIlroy for what will be EA Sports’ first golf game in two years.

A 28-foot birdie putt for $1 million? No bother if you’re Jordan Spieth

    Got TW PGA Tour games year after year as a kid! Great to see Rory in the name and on the cover. Fair play.

    They did make a game but it wasn’t EA and if EA made one it would be a quality game but you have to realise they wouldn’t make much money as there is a small market.

    Have a look at the article is clearly states that it is the first EA’s sports golf game in 2 years which makes your point completely invalid

    I’m talking about football. So your point is invalid.

    It would cost too much for EA to produce a gaa game and the profits wouldn’t be made due to the small target market. So dream on
