Tiger Woods not included in EA Sports' 'Rory McIlroy PGA Tour' video game

Fourteen-time Major winner Tiger Woods has not been included in EA Sports' Rory McIlroy PGA Tour video game.

The American golfer featured on every PGA Tour game series from 1998 until 2013, when the company opted to part ways with the sportsman.

In the latest version, which will be launched at St Andrews on Thursday, Woods does not feature at all as he has dropped out of the world top 100.

EA Sports has claimed that the American's absence is down to his 241st ranking, as well as 'political reasons', according to the Daily Mail.

The 39-year-old is due to compete at The Open in Scotland this week, but McIlroy will be absent as he recovers from an ankle injury.
