This game was pretty good. With the exception of a few minor bugs, I liked it a lot. For golf fans, this is a must-buy.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 was a decent golf game. It was not however, what I was expecting. You start out your career as a beginning golfer you created or as rookie Tiger Woods (like that's realistic), but I guess some liked it. I still wish they had less fake golfers and more tour pros. Some of the people you compete against in the "Tiger Challenge" mode are just ridiculous. Anyway, as you progress through the web of golfers, your skills get better, and you train your golfer. Then, once you get to about 25% of your total skill, you can start contending in the PGA Tour. This is where a lot of irritation came from in the game. You participate in a number of four-day tournaments in which there are many other pros competing with you. (Even pros who aren't in the game are in tournaments. ex. Arron Oberholser) If you do well in the tournaments, you can get into contention for a win. You start winning more as your skills increase. There is one fairly big downfall to the PGA Tour season mode, though. When you start a tournament, you play your first round of golf. As you finish each hole, you see a wait menu of the scoreboard. It usually turns out that your competition plays to your skills. I mean that if you play well, they play really well. If you play badly, they play badly but slightly better than you. For example, say you shot an awesome 63 in the first round. It's not that hard on the first day because of the easy conditions(easy pin placement, white tees, low wind, etc.). But, in the second round, your best opponents might shoot a 58, no matter how hard the conditions are. In the usual wind and hard greens and putting of round two, you might shoot 67-70. You are now in a dilemma. You went from leading by two or three in the first round to being tied for 25th somewhere far down the leaderboard. This problem is fixed sometimes by a really good, smart golfer. The key, (which should not have even been brought up as a possibility), is to moderate yourself in the first round. If the field is shooting 66-68s, go higher by two or three strokes on purpose. Then they will think you are playing bad and compensate the next day. When you feel comfortable, let the birdie train begin. Lay it on as much as you can. Go for every flag, and make as much ground up as you can. You may just be able to hold the rest off until the final round, where anything can happen. Anyway, Tiger Woods' entry into this year's sports lineup from EA Sports is not a waste. It will provide a knowledgeable golf fan a fun experience. If you love golf like I do, go out and buy this game.
