It's official then, Tiger is obviously finished........in EA sports opinion that is! I used to love playing on Tiger Woods before the kids came along and took over the XBox. It's the only time I will ever play decent golf.

It's a new era.

This is hilarious. Nothing against Rory, but I don't see having a game franchise named after him. Unless they just rename it every year. I don't see his name moving units like Tiger did.

Callaway X-24 10.5° Driver, Callaway Big Bertha 15° wood, Callaway XR 19° hybrid, Callaway X-24 24° hybrid, Callaway X-24 5i-9i, PING Glide PW 47°/12°, Cleveland REG 588 52°/08°, Callaway Mack Daddy PM Grind 56°/13°, 60°/10°, Odyssey Versa Jailbird putter w/SuperStroke Slim 3.0 grip, Callaway Chev Stand Bag, Titleist Pro-V1x ball

Tiger was no challenge for me in those games. I doubt Rory would be either. I out right dominated :-D

Once again, Nike wins.

On a side note- I hate that it is called Rory McIlroy. He is not Tiger Woods.

Wins by 25:

- Tiger Woods; 24

- Rory McIlroy: 9

Golf is trying so hard to find a new face it is funny.

The competition is better now.

:-P

I love that Rory is the new face, even if the majority doesn't want it/think so.

The best golf game ever was "Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf" for the NES. Not only is the name awesome, it was a good game.

Not counting Rory's European Tour wins. Though I guess they should call it "Rory Mcllroy European Tour Golf"

Clearly my vote for Jim Gallagher Jr., PGA TOUR didn't pan out.

Anyway, I'm not as bummed as some others are. Rory's the face of golf at the moment and why not cash in on that? It's not that EA Sports thinks Rory is better than Tiger was, just that Rory is the new era of golf. Believe it or not Tiger fans, it's true.

To me, personally, it doesn't really matter who is on the cover. I'm just hoping the graphics are great on the next gen consoles. And if having Rory's mug on it helps it sell better than last years version, all the power to him.

I would think EA Sports is well enough established that they no longer need a front man for their golf game.  I'm pretty sure they could have saved their money and just called it "PGA Tour 2015"

They probably figured the name switch from Tiger to Rory would throw in a decent amount of hype and conversation. I don't see why you wouldn't want to grab the face of golf for what most likely will be at least the next 5 years....barring any marriage....

Are the controls still shit? Still playing 2012 due to the awful putting style change in 2013's version.

Nota clue what the 2015 controls/play style will be like. I still haven't bought a next-gen system, I might if this game is good. I'm still waiting on a reasonably good golf simulation (that doesn't cost an arm, leg, & ear) from Playstation or whoever. I believe it was PS3 that made a relatively enjoyable disc golf simulation. Wii golf doesn't cut it.

Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again. 
    • Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.
    • I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
