All-new Legends of the Majors Mode Relives Rich Golf History While Battling Icons from Around the World
January 25, in the year of our Lord 2013 – Golf
Hall of Famer Seve Ballesteros, world No. 1 and two-time major
winner Rory McIlroy will appear with living legend Tiger Woods
on the cover of the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR14, marking the first
time in the franchise’s 29 year history that three golfers have
appeared on a cover together. The European edition of Tiger
Woods PGA Tour 14 will be released worldwide on March 29.
A Spanish golf legend, Ballesteros was one of the dominant
forces in golf during the 1970’s and early 1980’s, winning the
Masters Tournament twice and the Open Championship three times.
Known for his imaginative and intuitive style of play,
Ballesteros won a record 50 times on the European Tour and
compiled an impressive 91 total professional wins during his
career. Ballesteros passed away in 2011, but he is beloved by
many and still honored today, and was inducted into the World
Golf Hall of Fame in 1999.
“We are very grateful to EA SPORTS for remembering and honoring
our dear Seve through this fantastic video game,” said Iván
Ballesteros, vice president of Seve Ballesteros Foundation. “Not
only does this celebrate Seve’s great golf accomplishments, it
helps raise awareness to the work we are doing at the Seve
Ballesteros Foundation for brain cancer research.”
McIlroy, the current number one ranked golfer in the world at
only 23-years-old, and one of the longest hitters on tour,
returns to share the cover of the game with Tiger Woods for the
third time in franchise history. McIlroy, who recently signed a
major sponsorship deal with Nike, will be outfitted in the game
with all his new gear, ringing true to the EA SPORTS motto “It’s
in the game!”
Woods completes the trio of cover athletes. Coming off a three
PGA TOUR tournament win season and currently ranked as the
number two golfer in the world, Woods continues his pursuit of
becoming the all-time PGA TOUR win leader (74) and major
championships leader (14) behind Sam Snead and Jack Nicklaus
respectively.
All three golfers will join a roster of over 35 playable
characters in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14, including the legendary
golfers Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer,
Gary Player, Sam Snead and Lee Trevino.
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 will give players a chance to experience
golf’s rich history by allowing them to travel back in time and
take down some of the greatest legends in the game. Tiger Woods
PGA TOUR 14 will also feature 20 golf courses on disc,
era-specific equipment and attire and all-new features such as
night golf and the inclusion of the LPGA.
Arnold Palmer will join Woods on the cover of the North American
edition of Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14, while Jones and Bubba Watson
will be on the global version of Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14: The
Masters Historic Edition.
