    Over the past few years we have seen the decline of the Tiger Woods’ ear. Before his whole marriage scandal he was the best golfer in the world and was fighting to be the best of all time. But, once news got ahold of this scandals and bloody divorce with his wife, his career and game went downhill. He began to lose his big sponsorships and endorsements and he began to miss cuts and sometimes not even attend an Open. After the nasty decline he began to have these injury problems, causing him to fall out of matches, or in some cases not even pick up a wedge for a few weeks. Well Tiger Woods was having his decline in game, we see a young competitor come in and take over the game, taking Tiger Woods shine away. This young winner was Rory Mcilory, a Northern Irishman, who took over the game and was on a hot streak. Rory took over the game of golf and is consider the best in the game of golf right now. Even though Rory may never be as good as Tiger was/is, Rory is surely winning over the fans. This success of Rory has led him to receive major endorsement, this leading to him taking over Tiger's face in the high popular EA Sports PGA game. It is good to see a young man like Rory to take something that Woods held onto for so long, but it also good to see that EA Sports have moved pasted the Tiger ear and now jumped on the Rory bandwagon.
