EA Sports has a new face on the cover of its PGA Tour golf franchise, and it’s world No. 1 Rory McIlroy.
The video-game maker has renamed its annual golf game to “EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour,” with the Ulsterman replacing Tiger Woods in the game. Woods and EA Sports ended a 15-year relationship in 2013, with the company not producing a golf title in 2014. EA Sports announced it would be releasing a 2015 game last June, but the title did not have McIlroy’s name in it.
McIlroy has been a playable character in each of the last two editions of the game and appeared on a Europe-only cover of the game in 2013, “Tiger Woods PGA Tour ’14.”
The reboot of the franchise is expected to debut in June.
