Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is a golf video game by EA Tiburon. First announced at E3 2014, it was released on July 14, 2015 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, coinciding with the 2015 Open Championship.
The game was re-built from scratch as part of its shift to eighth generation consoles, adopting the Frostbite 3 engine to provide the ability to render more realistic environments and render courses as a single map rather than individually. Additionally, the game introduces new swing modes and assists, and an arcade-style challenge mode. It is the first entry in EA Sports' PGA Tour series since 1998 not to feature Tiger Woods as its namesake, replacing him with Rory McIlroy, who was world number one at the time of the game's release.
Rory McIlroy PGA Tour received mixed reviews; although critics acknowledged the game's increased graphics quality and realism over previous installments in the franchise, the game was criticized primarily for its regressions over previous entries in the franchise, including a small number of available courses on launch, and the removal of various modes and features that had been present in previous PGA Tour games.
Electronic Arts' PGA Tour franchise was placed on a hiatus following its 2013 release, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14; in October 2013, EA announced that the game would also be the final installment in the series co-branded with Tiger Woods, and that he would be replaced by a new title golfer for its next edition. At EA's E3 press conference in June 2014, the company presented footage of the next game in the series under the working title EA Sports PGA Tour. On March 16, 2015, it was announced that Rory McIlroy would serve as the new title athlete, naming the game Rory McIlroy PGA Tour. It was scheduled to be released in June 2015, before being delayed to July 14, 2015.
