Interesting...I had wondered why they never brought Augusta to Tiger Woods Online - guess we know why now!

Having bought the console version for the first time in forever I'll probably pass, but it's good to see the series return to PC.

Wonder if it will be the same game as the consoles. I think it was NHL 09 that had a PC version released way after the original released date but it was nothing like the games that were released on the console systems. Even had different announcers and everything if I remember correctly. I did NOT like it at all.

Yes. About time!

Wow, this just made my year. I'm still playing TW 08 PC like crazy.

This is huge!!

I would've bought had I already not bought the console version.

But if they fix the pin placements.....I'd be tempted.

I like tiger woods online and wonder why I would buy this instead of just playing the online version? Especially if they put augusta in tw online.

They didn't.

Plus the online game is microtransaction based, which rubs a lot of people the wrong way. Say what you want about EA's prices for the console game's downloadable courses, but at least you aren't charged for every single round you play outside of a handful of free courses.
