Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 Review
A new club tuner, simultaneous online play, and input from Tiger's own coach make this version as close as you'll get to a green.

Hi, I'm Tiger Woods, and the PGA Tour season didn't end without me.
Tiger Woods may be sitting out the rest of the 2008 PGA Tour to rehabilitate a bum knee, but that hasn't stopped the golf series that bears his name from offering a bunch of thoughtful touch-ups. The 2009 edition of Electronic Arts' golfing finger-slinger plays like last year's version with perks, ironing out the kinks in its core play while shoring up accessibility with features like a club tuner that lets you tweak everything from wedges to woods, dynamic skills that fluctuate up or down based on your performance, and commentary plus custom drills from Tiger's own real-life coach, Hank Haney. Factor in five new courses and four new golfers with an international twist plus expanded online challenges, revised minigames, and a simultaneous-play feature that lets up to four players polish off a round without waiting turns, and PGA Tour 09 is the most versatile version of the series in years. The game is $40 on PSP or PlayStation 2, or $60 for Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 versions.
