Even though Tiger Woods may not be having the best luck with his golf game lately that doesn’t mean that EA isn’t sticking by him. This is evidenced by the fact that they just announced that they will be bringing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters to consoles on March 29th for the US and then April 1st for everyone else. Hope there won’t be any April Fool’s jokes related to that date.
You can find a list of new features below, but what isn’t mentioned is the fact that the game will be released on all consoles which on its own isn’t very big news. But what is interesting news is the fact that the PS3 version will be including Move support as well as a collector’s edition for $70. The collector’s edition isn’t just going to cost extra for nothing, as it will include 5 extra undisclosed courses. So even though golf may not appeal to some people, there will be yet another Tiger Woods golfing simulator coming out in just a few short months.
