From 1998-2013, Tiger Woods was the face of EA Sports' golf division. EA Sports Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf was a staple among golf fans that were looking to play as their favorite golfers on their favorite video game console.

In 2013, EA Sports ended their 16 year relationship with Woods and the game took a temporary hiatus while the company decided who the new face would be. We now have that answer.

EA Sports released the cover of their 2015 edition and Palm Beach Gardens resident and World #1 Rory Mcllroy is the new cover of the game. In addition, like Woods, the game will be named after Rory, titled EA Sports Rory Mcllroy PGA Tour Golf.

The game is expected to be released in June on the PS4 and XBOX ONE and will offer users more diverse playing…

After announcing that he was not going to play in The Honda Classic in his backyard in Palm Beach Gardens and not qualifying for the WGC - Cadillac Championship at Doral, it was assumed that the next time Tiger Woods would tee it up would be at Bay Hill and the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Today, Woods squashed that idea, announcing on his website that he will not be playing next week at the place where he has won eight times in his career.

Here is the full statement from tigerwoods.com:

"I spoke to Arnold today and told him that I will not play in his tournament this year. I'm sorry I won't be in Orlando next week, but I know it will be a really successful event. I've put in a lot of time and work on my game and I'm making strides, but like…

In 2014, Tiger Woods announced his plan to open a restaurant in what was at the time the soon to be opened Harbourside Place in Jupiter. We now know more details, including a target opening date.

Name: The 8,000 square foot, two story restaurant will be called "The Woods Jupiter: Sports and Dining Club". For those wondering why Tiger is not using his full name in the restaurant title, it actually comes with an interesting story. Nike "has the rights to the name Tiger Woods" according to the building's owner, thereby preventing Woods from using it as part of the restaurant's name.

When it will open: The restaurant was projected to open by the end of March. That date, however, has been changed. According to Nicholas A. Mastroianni II, the owner of…

It has been known for quite some time who would be leading the two squads when the Presidents Cup went to Korea this October. Jay Haas would be leading the American side, while Nick Price would head up the International team.

We now know though, who they will be bringing with them as their assistant captains.

Haas announced on Tuesday that he has named Davis Love III and Fred Couples as his assistant captains, while Price names Tony Johnstone and Mark McNulty his assistants.

If that tandem of Love III, Couples, and Haas sound familiar, that’s because those were the three captains two years ago at Muirfield Village. In 2013, Couples was the captain and Love and Haas were his assistants.

The most surprising part of the announcement was the naming of Love as an…

Daniel Berger is no stranger to PGA National. The 21 year old PGA Tour rookie grew up in nearby Jupiter, played and worked out of the Dye Preserve, and went to high school at Dwyer.

At this point he has probably played there more than most of the pros that were in the field this week. But, when he made his run in the fourth round, erasing a nine shot deficit when the final round started Sunday, all everyone could do is just stop and watch.

Berger took on all the top guns ahead of him on the leaderboard and beat them. In fact, he beat everyone in the field except for one (champion Padraig Harrington), and he took Harrington to the second playoff hole before succumbing to a bad tee shot.

Berger shot a final round 64 over Sunday and Monday, the…
