Well, Tiger Woods was released last week for the current-gen consoles and this week for the XBox 360. I picked up the XBox360 version yesterday after work, and I wrote these impressions at Tiger Woods Nation. I figured I would just copy them here. Feel free to give some impressions on whichever version of Tiger 07 you have.

Mine isn't much, but it's a start.


I only had a chance to play 18 holes or so last night, but I'll throw out a few impressions anyway.

The Gameface is pretty awesome and easy to navigate. I have some tweaking to do on my guy, but I look similar to my real-life counterpart already. It won't be a problem for creation gurus to create some pretty cool people.

I played my first match against Mike Weir and lost on the second playoff hole. I skipped through the difficulties and went straight to Tour Mode difficulty. Weir and I halved the first hole with triple bogeys. I tried to be a hero but ended up being a zero. My guy isn't as strong as I thought at this point.

I ended up going 1-up with 1 to play, and he beat me on the 9th and finished me off on the second playoff hole. I do have to admit I putted my second putt off the green on the second playoff hole. I ended up four-putting (three putting by golf standards).

I did put one in for eagle on the fourth or fifth hole at Princeville, whichever is the par-5 in that area. Overall, I probably shot four or five over though which was a welcome sight to see. Pars were pretty hard to come by, and I love that.

The graphics are breathtaking to me, especially since this is the first XBox 360 Tiger game I've played. The galleries really make the atmosphere a lot better as well. Overall, the presentation is solid, even with the picture-in-picture animations. I like the slick looking new menu screens as well. It's easy on the eyes.

I started another match as Ian Poulter, and my partner was Adam Scott. I played alternate shot against Monty and Vijay, and we were even after the first nine holes. It's definitely easier to play as the pros which kinda worries me a little. Still, we only had a few birdies and the rest pars, so it wasn't going to be a 50 or 60 kind of round anyway.

I played Pinehurst #2 in the alternate shot match, and it's beautiful! They even have the turtle-back greens which are so famous. Monty hit his approach shot for the CPU on the first hole, and it was about 15 feet left of the pin, but it slowly creeped off the heavily-sloped greens into the bunker. It was a thing of beauty! That was definitely the best moment for me so far. I can't imagine how tough it would be at Pinehurst with the expert pin locations and lightning fast greens. The putting was already hard enough as it is at Pinehurst.

I haven't played enough to really give many impressions, but I'll keep stopping in after every two or three rounds. It looks like I'll get to play a whole lot this weekend, so I'll be full of impressions on Monday!

So far so good!!!

    • Day 50: 1/30/2025 Back home again, today. Got to do some full speed swings hitting balls into the garage net.
    • Something just popped into my head, based on your mention of the folks who "know the rules" but are generally wrong.  Another comment I read was "the Rules ALWAYS said.....".  When I come across those I often go to  www.ruleshistory.com to see if the rules ever said that.  You can find every (almost?) version of the rules since the first set in 1744.  Its fun to return to the conversation and say "You're a little bit right, the rules said that at one time, but that changed in 1984.  You've been playing under the wrong rule for 40 years!"  
    • Hi, checking back in to see if any St. Louis area golfers get together for a round or three during the year.  I have recently dropped my membership in a local league this year to work on my game and meet other people.  I would love to hear from anyone that would be interested in meeting for a round in the St. Louis area.   Rick
