Rory Just Dunked On Tiger So Hard
CBS Sports- It was announced on Monday that Rory McIlroy would be the poster child for EA Sports’ first non-Tiger Woods golf video game since 1998. It was announced last year that EA would be producing a game for 2015 without Woods after the two split in the fall of 2013. Rumors flew about what it would be called and who would be on the cover. Those were answered on Monday. “I’m very proud and humbled to see my face and name on EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour,” said McIlroy in a statement. “This is a great honor, and something I couldn’t even dream of growing up playing the sport. I really hope people enjoy the game and I’m very glad I can be a part of it.”
DAMN! STOP IT RORY! TIGER HAS A FAMILY! Unreal. Rory just viciously dunking on Tiger here. EA Sports had already announced a while back that they weren’t going to attach Tiger’s name to the game anymore. What they didn’t say was they were going to give the game to Rory. It would’ve been one thing to give Rory the cover. But they went ahead and gave him the whole damn game. They put his name on it and everything. “Hey Tiger, remember the revolutionary golf game you helped usher in and sell millions upon millions of copies? Thanks but we’re moving in a different direction. A Rory direction.” You could say Tiger not being able to play 18 holes of golf is the low point of his career. Or Thanksgiving 2009 and everything that followed was the low point of his career. But this is it. This takes the cake. Rory taking over as the EA cover boy and the guy with his name on the game. Tiger has to feel like an after thought at this point. A has been. Rory’s World indeed.
PS- I’m gonna say this and I’m gonna mean every word. I’m the best Tiger Woods 2007 Xbox player in the whole entire world. Best there ever has been and best there ever will be. I’ve probably played over 100,000 rounds of golf on that game. I make people cry. I’ve made my friends cry. I’m unbeatable. You ever see me on the street and have the game at your place, let’s rumble. Why 2007? No idea. It’s the one I had. If an alien race ever came to Earth and said, “We’ll play you in one round of Tiger Woods 2007. If you win, you live. If you lose, we eat your brains” the world would collectively pick me and we’d be saved.
