Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 The Masters Demo Previews Augusta National
February 22, in
the year of our Lord 2011 –
Take the journey to golf’s annual springtime tradition at
Augusta National Golf Club in the upcoming demo of Tiger
Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters, starting March 8 on Xbox 360
and PlayStation 3. Feel the pressure of closing in on
becoming a Masters champion and wearing the Green Jacket for the
first time as you approach the tee box on the course’s famous
closing hole during the final round of the tournament. In
the “Play Now” setting, gamers will live that epic moment and
have their first opportunity to play Augusta National’s par-4
18th.
See the distinct Masters experience and
hear the all-familiar voice of long-time Masters announcer Jim
Nantz throughout the demo. Nantz sets the stage as Tiger
Woods charges up the leaderboard in chase of his fifth Green
Jacket. Take control of Tiger Woods on the final hole and
attempt to be crowned Masters champion, while the all-new
commentary team of Nantz, and the always entertaining David
Feherty, call the action.
In “Road to the Masters” mode, play
holes 1-5 at TPC San Antonio Oaks Course - an all-new course to
the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR franchise. In addition, once you
complete the five holes gamers will be granted the ability in
the full retail version* to bypass the EA SPORTS Amateur Tour
and proceed straight to the Nationwide Tour in your career.
The PlayStation 3 version of the demo
will support the PlayStation Move controller to fully replicate
an authentic golf swing. Looking for an even more immersive golf
interaction? The demo can also be played in True View mode
– a first person vantage point. Additional information
about the Masters Tournament, the all-new career mode,
Caddie/Course Mastery, new golfers and courses, and a host of
other new features are detailed in the demo. Share
the demo with friends to earn additional XP.
The Masters edition will go on sale in North America on March 29 and worldwide on April 1, available on the Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, with support of the PlayStation Move controller. 16 beautiful championship courses are featured on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game while the Wii edition will include 24 courses. The Masters and five additional courses will also be included in the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12 Collector’s Edition, developed exclusively for the PlayStation 3 system. In addition, over 20 golfers are available to choose from, including Bubba Watson (2011 Farmers Insurance Open champion), Zach Johnson (2007 Masters champion) and Rickie Fowler (2010 PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year).
