EA announces Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters

Apparently EA still loves the Tiger - despite speculation that they'd dropped him altogether, the publisher has confirmed that the annual Tiger Woods franchise is business as usual, with the announcement of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters, which as the title suggests, finally includes the popular Masters tournament.

"For more than a decade, the Masters Tournament has been the most requested and coveted feature for the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR franchise among our fans," said Peter Moore, president of EA SPORTS. "Pairing the number one golf video game franchise with the most prestigious golf tournament in the world is a perfect marriage and we’re thrilled to bring our fans this exciting opportunity to experience Augusta National Golf Club like never before."

In addition to the new mode and course, golfing fans can also look forward to:
