EA has announced the signing of Welsh golf pro Rhys Davies as the latest addition to the recently revealed Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters.

Rhys will become a brand ambassador for EA Sports and the golfing franchise and, as part of the deal, wear the famous logo on his shirt in all competitions throughout the year – the first time EA Sports has sponsored a golfer on the European Tour.

“We’re extremely excited to be partnering with Rhys Davies. He had an exceptional rookie year on the European Tour in 2010 and is sure to achieve even greater success in 2011,” said Shaun White – Senior PR Manager EA Sports. “We will work with Rhys on several initiatives during the season and give gamers an insight into the life of a tour professional.”

Davies’ successful 2010 rookie campaign featured his maiden European Tour victory at the Tropheé Hassan II in Morocco. The 25-year-old from Bridgend added three runner-up finishes and ended the season ranked 18th in the Race to Dubai.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters will go on sale in Europe on April 1, for Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 with support for PS Move. Five additional courses will also be included in the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 Collector’s Edition, developed exclusively for PS3.
