Tiger Woods is out. Rory McIlroy is in.

EA Sports announced on Monday that McIlory, who has been ranked No. 1 since August, will be the main attraction of its new golf video game, "EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour," which comes out in June.

Woods had been with EA Sports from 1998 to 2013. He appeared on the cover of "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14," which was released in March 2013. The company did not release a PGA Tour game in 2014.

McIlroy joined Woods on the cover of "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11."
