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.

  1. This year's PSP Tiger has cut its load times down to a mere eight or nine seconds per hole. That alone is enough to make this a "must buy." [Nov 2005, p.98]

    There's a vast amount of options when it comes to single-player, and if you have someone to play with the wi-fi is great. Still, when it all comes down to it, the home versions are simply better.
  3. The latest offering on PSP is a much improved, almost-mirror image of the console versions in most places that count. [Nov p.100]
  4. Still dry as hell and frustrating on occasions, but immensely playable nonetheless. A smart alternative to "Everybody's Golf." [Christmas 2005, p.105]

    This is easily the best game out on the PSP so far. I was a bit iffy about trading in Everybody's golf for this, but now I am so happy. Brilliant graphics and Gameplay is class. Loading time is nearly non existent. Excellent game for anyone with even a slight interest in golf. Expand

    I think this is the best game available on the PSP console so far (I would so far as to rank it above GTA and SOCOM although those are good games as well). I bought it a few months ago and I still play it often. I've never bought a golf game on any console before and I am not a very avid golf fan, but I still really like this game. Expand

    This is a solid golf game. It has all the features that you would expect from the franchise and a user friendly interface that to me, borders on making gameplay too easy. That is my main complaint about the game. Most gamers will find little to challenge their skills here and in my opinion that will limit replayability over the long term. I recommend this game regarldess of whether or not you are a fan of golf or the EA franchise, because I think most gamers will have hours of enjoyment playing Tiger Woods '06. Expand

    Tiger woods is not a quick pick up and play type of game, dont get me wrong TW is a good looking golf game with long loading times, If you like golf and you like fun at the same time then Tiger woods is not that game, if you want a good fun golf game may i suggest Everybodys Golf. if you want golf long loading times and no atmosphere then Go for tiger woods.
