Professional golfer Rory McIlroy, who replaced the legendary Tiger Woods as the star of EA Sports’ PGA Tour series, has gone down with an injury just one week before Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is set to launch.

McIlroy shared the news on Instagram, writing that he suffered a “total rupture” of the left ankle ligament and associated joint capsule during a pick-up soccer match with friends over the weekend.

The 26-year-old, who has won three out of golf’s four majors, says he has already started rehab and is “working hard” to get back on the course “as soon as I can.”

But his status for The Open next week at St. Andrews is in question. Experts say recovery time for such an injury depends on the severity of the rupture, which McIlroy did not specify in his Instagram post. A spokesperson told the Washington Post that there is a 10 percent chance that McIlroy will play next week.

This is no doubt a huge bummer for McIlory, who is the defending Open champion and current World No. 1 golfer. Whether or not his injury and time away from the game affects Rory McIlory PGA Tour, however, remains to be seen.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour launches on July 14 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, but Xbox One owners with an EA Access membership can start playing five days early.

The game was originally expected to launch in June, but was later delayed so that EA could make sure the online infrastructure will be smooth and stable at release.
