The world's top-ranked PGA golfer has signed a deal for his own game with Ubisoft.

Ubisoft today announced that they have reached a deal with top-ranked PGA golfer Vijay Singh to produce a self-titled golf game.

This is the company's first step into expanding into the sports genre, aside from its already reputable action titles.

"Ubisoft is doing an incredible job in bringing my style of golf to the world of gaming," said Vijay Singh. "I am excited to be teaming up with one of the most innovative and experienced gaming companies in the industry and look forward to a long and successful partnership."

"There is still room for innovation in the sports genre and Ubisoft has some great ideas that we're looking forward to implementing," said Yves Guillemot, president and chief executive officer of Ubisoft. "We hope to not only offer sports fans games that have a unique flair and character, but also something that will take advantage of the fabulous capacities of current and next-generation consoles."
