  • Summary: Prove yourself as the greatest golfer of all time by taking on the legends in the prime of their careers -- on their terms. Do you have what it takes to beat Jack Nicklaus in his heyday with a bag full of wooden clubs or Tiger Woods with his modern-day equipment? For the first time, both analog sticks control each shot from tee to green. The left analog stick controls your swing, and the right analog Shape Stick dictates ball trajectory and putt strength. Back your challenges with wagers before any shot or round. Bigger odds are given to special accomplishments, so reap the largest rewards for nailing the toughest shots. Experience 15 beautifully detailed courses including Pebble Beach Golf Links, St Andrews, Reflection Bay, Doral Golf Resort, and more as you play as or against Tiger Woods and 16 other PGA TOUR players, including the newly added Chris DiMarco, Mike Weir, Ian Poulter, and Luke Donald. New Gamebreaker Meter: Build confidence to trigger Gamebreaker situations, and boost your power and accuracy by making great shots and posting low scores. [Electronic Arts] Expand

  1. Other than the sound, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 does everything needed to help give the franchise a breath of fresh air. It’s nice to see that EA Sports can do more than just throw in one new play or change one part of a game.
  2. The new putting system is improved over the previous method, but it needs some refining before it can be mentioned in the same breath as the analog swing.
  3. Those who haven't played the previous games will be awestruck by how much depth the game has, and how much it takes to get the hang of each function.
  4. While I have to give the developers credit for trying out a whole bunch of new ideas, I'd much rather play last year's version. But if you like your golf painfully realistic, maybe you'll prefer it this way. [Nov 2005, p.114]

    Awesome game! I like the way they're making it into an RPG-style experience with the time travel stuff. The shot shaping is really cool!

    I've only been playing for a couple of hours, but I like Tiger Woods 05 better... challenges seemed to be organized better, and 05 definitely looks better, at least on my HDTV. Expand

    Worst Tiger Woods game so far. The game just plays far to inconsistent. All other versions were superior. The new pieces introduced are kind of useless and gameplay is subpar by comparison. Expand

    I was very unhappy. This game could be great if it did nto take forever to load, and then freeze up. All the TWG games before were much better. I don't think they even played it before they sold it. Expand
