EA announced today that it has signed Rhys Davies for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters. How awesome is that? The actor, who we've enjoyed as Gimli in the Lord of the Rings, along with memorable performances in Sliders and Indiana Jones, would likely be doing something like voiceovers for the game.

Oh, wait, wrong guy. He'll actually serve as "brand ambassador " He, meaning Rhys Davies the golfer, not John Rhys-Davies the actor. That hyphen makes all the difference.

"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 at EA Sports. And here we thought Shaun White was over at Ubisoft.
