Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 trailer shows off online team play
by Griffin McElroy 
{ Mar 18th 2010 at 2:00PM } 
EA Sports' latest attempt to breathe new life into the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise's eleventh installment is an online multiplayer mode, previewed in the "Ryder Cup" trailer posted above. Players will be able to align themselves into teams, and go head-to-head (to-head-to-head, and so on) in an attempt to dominate the lush, rolling greens.
The only question that remains is what team you'll choose to enlist in. Will it be team Tiger Woods, who's repeatedly proven his prowess for hitting golf balls into faraway holes? Or will it be team Rory McIlroy, who is exactly one vowel away from being totally awesome?

EA: No Project Natal support for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11
by David Hinkle { Mar 11th 2010 at 3:00PM }
"We are always evaluating new technologies and Natal would be a perfect fit for the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise," an EA spokesperson told Joystiq, "however we are simply not in a position to do so with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11."
There you have it: Natal is a "perfect fit," but Tiger Woods 11 won't have that functionality. Our guess? The Natal dev kits haven't shipped and a post-release implementation patch would not be cost effective.

101 MiniGolf World fills a hole in DSiWare lineup
by Randy Nelson { Nov 19th 2009 at 3:50PM } 
Proving that there really are (really) games being made for DSiWare without "Sudoku" in their title, Teyon has announced 101 MiniGolf World for Nintendo's DSi download service. The game, which gets it name from the fact that it features six 18-hole courses, has yet to be dated -- but at least we can get a look at it.
We became excited briefly when the announcement mentioned support for eight players ... until we parsed the next few words and realized Teyon means by passing your DS around. Still, the developer is promising "mind-blowing obstacles, loops, pipes, ramps" and so forth. It would be nice to have a new DSiWare title blow our minds rather than our DSi Points.

Rumor: Xbox Avatar golf game
by Xav de Matos { Jul 25th 2009 at 2:30PM }
The footage showcases Avatars enjoying a rousing game of golf, but still looks very early in development (if it even is). Perhaps it is an actual upcoming game, but it could also be some an Avatar update to the XBLA title 3D Ultra Minigolf or even some XNA-based genius. Time will tell on this rumor.
Jimmy Fallon beats Tiger Woods at his own game

Try not to take it too hard, Woodsy. We're sure you could beat him at Don't Laugh During Every Freaking Sketch During Your Six-Year Stint on Saturday Night Live 2010.
EA and Tiger Woods make viral video magic (again)
by David Hinkle { Jun 23rd 2009 at 6:30PM }
Oh, and some of you may notice something at the end of the clip, to the tune of EA awarding someone with $50,000 for their own viral video. For more details on that, check out the official site.

EA reveals Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online
by Justin McElroy { May 29th 2009 at 9:59AM } 
Sadly, it's a golf game that you'll be able to play through your web browser on courses such as Pebble Beach, TPC Sawgrass and St. Andrews. There's no pricing announced yet for the fall release, but we know it will have a "multi-tiered subscription structure" and beta sign-ups are open now.
It sounds neat, but we can't help but be bummed we'll never get to putt grind for our epic golf cart.
Wii Sports Resort features ... golf and table tennis?
by JC Fletcher { May 18th 2009 at 1:00PM }
Nintendo must be very confident that MotionPlus improves these games significantly. We still don't know how many games will be included in Resort, but if two of them are going to be encore presentations, there had better be a lot of games. We totally understand Nintendo wanting to take a second crack at table tennis, we must admit, because Wii Play's version is not where it's at.

Joystiq hands-on: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, now with frisbee golf!
by Kevin Kelly { May 11th 2009 at 7:00PM } 
Randy took a few swings with Tiger Woods back in March, and we're happy to echo his sentiments. It's very rewarding to switch over to the MotionPlus and watch your golfer avatar follow along pretty darn precisely with your swing. It not only makes the game feel more intuitive, but (amazingly) coaxes you off the couch. No slumped flailing here!
Before you go on, let us point you to some additional media
- Xbox 360 and PS3 screenshots

Joystiq hands-on: Pangya Fantasy Golf
by Andrew Yoon { May 8th 2009 at 8:15PM }
Pangya doesn't really change the way golf is played, but its super-cute graphics and adorable story mode should help it stand out. The story of Fantasy Golf is rather trite, and its mere existence is an interesting oddity. Characters are shaped from the same cliche anime molds we're familiar with, but the stunning art really makes these characters come to life.

EA formally announces Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10
by David Hinkle { Mar 12th 2009 at 2:42PM }
This year's Tiger Woods will also feature a "broadcast style presentation," which EA reveals includes "Instantaneous updates" from new commenting duo Scott Van Pelt and Kelly Tilghman, from ESPN and The Golf Channel, respectively. Oh, and in case you had forgotten, the Wii version will use MotionPlus.
