Arnold Palmer Appears on Cover of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14
November 15, in the year of our Lord 2012 – In
a historic celebration of the world of golf, Arnold Palmer, “the
King,” makes his first appearance alongside Tiger Woods on the
cover of Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14. Palmer’s professional career
spanned five decades and the box art image is taken from his
most prolific years during the 1960’s. Among his many
accomplishments, he recorded 92 professional victories during
his career with 62 occurring on the PGA TOUR. Included in the
total are seven major championships including four Masters, one
U.S. Open and two Open Championships. Palmer also has a history
with the video game franchise as he was included in Tiger Woods
PGA TOUR 05 and 06.
Woods has a rich history with the golf icon as he has won the
Arnold Palmer Invitational seven times, most recently in 2012
and he has 74 PGA TOUR career wins, second on the all-time list.
Joining legendary golfers, Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer, as
playable characters are a quartet of young rising stars from the
PGA TOUR and LPGA. Making their debut in the Tiger Woods PGA
TOUR franchise, Keegan Bradley, Bud Cauley, Stacy Lewis and Lexi
Thompson will round out a roster of more than 25 professional
golfers set to tee off in the upcoming title.
Bradley has won three PGA TOUR events, most notably the 2011 PGA
Championship and is one of only three golfers to win in his
major debut. He was also named the 2011 PGA TOUR Rookie of the
Year and was a member of the 2012 US Ryder Cup team.
Cauley just completed his second professional season and is
considered one of the up-and-coming American golfers on the PGA
TOUR. The former University of Alabama golfer was a member of
the 2009 U.S. Walker Cup team and had six top-10 finishes this
season.
The LPGA’s #1 ranked American golfer, and recently named Player
of the Year, Lewis, has five professional career wins including
a major as her first official professional victory, came at the
2011 Kraft Nabisco Championship. With four LPGA victories this
season, 2012 has been a breakout season for Lewis.
In 2011, Thompson won her first LPGA tournament at the Navistar
LPGA Classic at the age of 16. She was also the youngest player
to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open as a 12-year old.
