Mario Golf World Tour Dated by Gamefly

Gamefly is reporting that Mario Golf will hit North America on August 25th. 

The date seems to fit in with other Nintendo release dates(Sunday release) and Gamefly has been right in the past when leaking dates.

For example, last year they leaked the date for Mario Tennis Open and couple weeks ago they even gave out the release date for Game & Wario.

So August 25th is looking to be the date for Mario Golf World Tour.
