14 DAY TRIAL // Electronic Arts has announced that it is working on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters and the main addition coming in this year’s golf simulation is the fact that gamers will be able to play on the grounds of the Augusta National and will be able to experience the feeling of playing in the Masters Tournament, aiming to take over the Green Jacket.
Gamers will be able to relieve the history of the event, facing off against the greats of the sport and they will be able to step into the golfing shoes of Tiger Woods himself and try to improve his performance and capture more than four Masters titles.
The presentation of the game has also been reworked, with Jim Nantz and David Feherty taking over commentary duties, and new golfers and courses are added in order to expand the universe of golf the player can experience.
Peter Moore, who is the president of EA Sports, has stated, “For more than a decade, the Masters Tournament has been the most requested and coveted feature for the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR franchise among our fans.”
He added, “Pairing the number one golf video game franchise with the most prestigious golf tournament in the world is a perfect marriage and we’re thrilled to bring our fans this exciting opportunity to experience Augusta National Golf Club like never before.”
Billy Payne, Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament, also said, “Our sincere motivation is to draw an even greater audience to this wonderful sport and continue to inspire its growth by building off the success seen in previous versions of the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR franchise.”
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters will be released on March 29 in North America and April 1 elsewhere, on the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 (complete with Move support and a special edition package) and the Nintendo Wii.
