Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 - Details

We already knew it was coming, but it's coming for Wii as well: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09.

Electronic Arts announced today that Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09, the next installment of the world's #1 selling golf video game franchise, will be available in retail stores this summer. The game will feature dynamic, personalized gameplay via Tiger Woods' personal coach, Hank Haney. Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 also features a more intuitive and customized EA Sports GamerNet experience as well as an all-new game engine powering online play.

"Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 is the most authentic golf video game on the market, and we're excited to bring an immersive experience to the masses," said Executive Producer Mike Taramykin. "Our partnership with Hank Haney provides fans immediate coaching from one of the top minds in golf. This year's game brings unprecedented levels of customization and control, allowing seasoned vets and first time players 'inside the ropes' of TOUR golf."

Looking to drive the ball long and straight? Trying to nail the pin with the approach shot? An all-new addition to this year's game, Haney will assist gamers as they hit the links and try to advance their career to win the FedExCup. In Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09, a player's skill level is dynamic, constantly adjusting throughout the round just as it would during a real afternoon out on the links. Following each round, Haney will deliver customized feedback on a player's performance. This feedback system allows all gamers, rookies or PGA TOUR pros, to compete and enjoy the game at any level.

EA SPORTS GamerNet is a ground-breaking online innovation that features a refined, easy-to-use interface in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09. EA Sports GamerNet challenges, such as long drive, approach shots and putting will be delivered instantly throughout all game modes and players will have the ability to post their challenges from the fairways. EA Sports GamerNet also features an all-new daily leaderboard and challenges customized to fit an individual's playing style.

Online play has also been enhanced with Simultaneous Play. This all-new online engine gives up to four players the ability to play each hole at the same time, allowing players to get in a rhythm, swing when they are ready and make one round of golf even faster and more competitive than ever before possible.

Developed by EA Tiburon, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 will be available on August 26 on Xbox 360, the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3, PSP and Wii.
