Rory McIlroy PGA Tour?

What, no Tiger?
To pull out an old joke: What do you call three hundred white men chasing one black man? Answer: the PGA Tour. The man being referred to is none other than Tiger Woods. As I'm sure everyone knows, he used to dominate the links like no one ever had before. He was athletic and he could hit the ball further than most of the competition. In short, he made the game of golf about as exciting as it was going to get. 

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Although he is still the first name most people think of should the subject of golf arise, Tiger Woods hasn't been a dominant figure in years (from a traditional standpoint, that is). He seems to withdraw from more tournaments due to injury than the number of cuts he makes. Sure, his number of major tournament victories is still impressive and has him ranked among the best of all-time. That being said, it is disappointing to many just how quickly and how far the man tipped to overtake Jack Nicklaus in number of majors has dropped.

Now, EA Sports has seen fit to strip him of one highly lucrative asset--Tiger Woods PGA Tour. They haven't stopped making a PGA Tour game, they just decided to replace him with a younger and recently more successful golfer, Rory McIlroy.

Well it would seem there is something to the whole Karma bit, or reaping the seeds one sews. Tiger figured himself above the realm of morality because he was rich and cheap girls were chasing him, and since then, he has never been the same. Call it coincidence if you want, but it's one heck of a coincidence.
