Third Course is Announced for Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online

Thanks to the beta participants golfing 10,000 rounds … we’ve been presented with the 3rd course announced for the PC game set to be released this fall.  Below is the release sent to the beta participants:

The Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® Online team would like to congratulate our Beta community for successfully completing our first-ever Community Challenge! We launched the Community Challenge last Tuesday, July 14th and just six days later, we hit our goal of completing 10,000 rounds of golf.

It was a great week for Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Online with the community logging an average of over 1600 completed rounds a day. The most rounds completed in one day was 2039 on Wednesday, July 15th. The 10,000th game was completed by robertmark1 of the UK…great job!

Sheshan Golf Club is a beautiful and intimidating golf course. It features rolling hills, winding rivers, scattered ponds, and a large 50-meter deep quarry to play around. If you’ve never played Sheshan, now’s your chance. Thanks to the dedication of our Beta community, Sheshan is now unlocked and available to play for everyone in the Beta.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online Initial BETA Impressions

A few weeks ago, myself, along with about 60 other thankful and gracious golfing gamers, were able to take part in the first initial beta test for a PC franchise taking a different direction.  Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online gives PC Tiger fans what they missed out on last year, and it will take the franchise into new exciting directions.  This game has been taken in a different direction for several reasons.  The two biggest items that come to mind for me are the fact that it is cost efficient, and the growth of social networking sites (which I will later explain how it is fused in with the game).

Please keep in mind that this is a VERY early stage of the beta designed to test and give feedback, find bugs and give opinions, items from this beta are definitely subject to change throughout each phase of the beta, and I will definitely post updates as each phase is completed.

Hands-on Impresson of Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online Coming Thursday

Stay tuned for my personal hands-on impressions of the initial beta for Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online for the PC.  With E3 going on right now, and Tiger 10 set to come out early next week, I think this early impression of the beta will sandwich in nicely this coming Thursday.

Introducing Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online for the PC

Today it was announced that Tiger is coming back for the PC gamers out there.  Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online is going to be a different experience than the past.  Instead of purchasing a disc to install the game onto your hard drive, you will be able to simply log on to the game’s official website and stream the game directly from your web browser.   The official website will also act as a social network similar to Facebook where you can add and chat with friends, challenge them to a match, modify your golfer by spending money in the pro shop, and check the leaderboards just to name a few.

While nothing has been finalized yet, Kotaku has stated that EA Sports is looking into a subscription based model, along with a slimmed down free-to-play version.  Stay tuned as I will post my thoughts and impressions on the opening beta that I am currently participating in for this game.

Currently EA Sports is taking applications to be a part of the next wave in the beta testing.  To sign up, please go to the following website:  http://tigerwoodsonline.ea.com/
