Assumed by many, on Monday EA SPORTS confirmed through its Twitter account that Augusta National Golf course will not be included in the June release Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR.
The covers for Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12, 13, & 14 all included text or a logo indicating inclusion of The Masters. Once the Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR cover was revealed with no Augusta text or logo, immediate speculation was that the famed course would no longer be included.
The true direction of Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR remains to be seen. The initial teaser video for the game highlighted graphics and the battleship coming ashore during the action. Since that video, the franchise has found itself facing the belief - and concern of some - that the game will feature an arcade focus. As part of their previous deal, Augusta National was allowed creative control over how the golf course was utilized and presented.
