I am away from my console, but will do my best.

I play on Tour Pro difficulty, normal AI scoring. I have pretty balanced skills, with power being the highest and control the lowest.

I am on my second PGA Tour season. I won three events in year one (the one at Royale Melbourne, the EA Major and the first FedEx Cup event @ Whistling Straits).

In season two, I tied for 37th at my first Masters, won The Players and have another top ten finish. I just finished my first round in the US Open in third place.

MrArlingtonBeach · 04-13-2011, 11:04 AM

Forgot sponsors:

I have reached level 4 with EA Sports and Cleveland and am level 3 with Calaway.

Koolie G · 04-13-2011, 11:58 AM

I just started my 1st PGA Tour event last night. Shot +4 in first round and -4 in the second round. I think I'm tied for around 25th after two rounds. I was in danger of missing the cut (I assume you can miss cuts) but went 3 under on the last 4 holes to save my tourney.

Playing on Tournament Difficulty. I don't have any sponsors other than EA. My attributes are something like Power 50, Accuracy 45, Control 30, Putting 54?

I completed AM tour and then finished in the top 5 in the last 2 Nationwide events to make it to the PGA Tour.

I play pretty well 14 or 15 holes, but then I have a triple and a couple of doubles in there that just tank my score. I am really liking this game right now.

Just wanted to update:

In years two and three, I have hit my stride.

I won the US Open in year two, along with the UK Open, EA Major, The Desert Invitiational and The Tour Championship. In doing so, I won the FedEx Cup.

In year three, I won the Hawaiian Open, The Masters and The Players. I am now ranked No. 2 in the world.

cardswin2006 · 04-20-2011, 10:24 AM

Won my first PGA event last night--by 8 strokes!

Event was at TPC Scottsdale. I'm really enjoying this mode and having a lot of fun with it. Hopefully it doesn't become too easy for me as my attributes rise...

EvanRG · 04-20-2011, 10:49 AM

This game is super-addicting.

Started off really strong in the amateur tour by winning my first tournament... then proceeded to shoot a +12 in the next tournament before winning the next tournament to get promoted to the Nationwide Tour. LOL.

Nationwide was the same story... Came in strong winning my first tournament by 4 strokes and then I got a chance in the Q League... After a great first nine holes I was in the top 25... then on the back nine I imploded and finished 38th to lose out on a tour card. After all that, I dominated the 3rd tournament and got my PGA tour card with a 1st place finish.

So I have four tournament wins, 2 horrible finishes and now I am 4 shots back going into the final round of the Hawaiian Open against Tiger Woods.

Spoiler I am playing in the US Open now, along with Tiger Woods in an attempt to overtake his No. 1 spot. So far, I have a big lead on him and the rest of the field going in to round 3. It's kinda cool to actually be paired with TW and feel that pressure of taking his spot atop the rankings. __________________ Orbis Non Suficit
