Exciting changes to Tiger video game

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 features new ‘Legends of the Majors’ game mode

Fans of golf and video gaming will be able to battle nine of golf’s most famous names in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14.

The latest edition of the popular video game franchise features an all-new game mode, ‘Legends of the Majors’, which gives players a chance to travel back through time and re-live the sport’s rich history by squaring up to some of the game’s legends, including Seve Ballesteros, Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Sam Snead, Lee Trevino and Tiger Woods.

Players can work their way through these legends in various eras and take each of them down to earn their own seat at the table of golf legends. As a result, hoisting the Claret Jug, breaking Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major victories and slipping on the coveted Green Jacket are now all within a player’s reach.

For the first time in the franchise’s history, users will be able to go for the Grand Slam by playing historical events in all four majors: The Masters Tournament, US Open, the Open Championship and the PGA Championship.

The game goes on sale worldwide on March 28 across various platforms and EA Sport’s Mike Taramykin thinks gamers will love the new features that have been programmed into it.

“This year’s edition of the game delivers a collection of innovative golf features that provide players an unprecedented chance to rewrite the record books,” he said. “Players can earn legendary status by conquering the greatest legends of all time or challenge their friends on some of the world’s most renowned courses. Without question, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 is the best edition the franchise has produced in years.
