Hey golf fans! As you may have already seen, we’ve officially confirmed that EA SPORTS Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR will be available on July 14. We’re pretty excited to give you the official launch info and the timing couldn’t be better with the OPEN Championship at St. Andrews going on that same week! Rory knows a few things about that course and we’ve got our fingers crossed he’ll be hoisting the Claret Jug yet again on Sunday afternoon.

Launching the game on July 14 allows us to offer fully-featured online gameplay and tournaments. We know even though golf can be a fun game to play solo, it’s even better with friends. Our team has been hard at work creating the infrastructure necessary to support online rounds and tournaments to ensure a smooth, stable and fun experience from day one.

Today’s video gave you your first taste of our new gameplay features, and we’ll be rolling out new info from now through E3 and beyond so be sure to check back regularly. See you out on the links on July 14!
