“Tiger’s stepped up for all of us on Tour and I think he realises all the players on the policy board are trying to play regular golf and at the same time trying to navigate all these different things as well, so he’s maybe got a little bit more time on his hands than we do.
TIGER WOODS PGA TOUR 09 PROFESSIONAL
“The player that, especially over the last 20 years, has left the biggest legacy on the game, for him to be involved in the discussions around the future of professional golf and what that may look like is very important.
McIlroy, who is also on the policy board with Patrick Cantlay, Webb Simpson, Charley Hoffman and Peter Malnati, said: “It’s a great addition. Woods, 47, has not played since withdrawing from April’s Masters and concedes his playing opportunities will be extremely limited going forward, but the 15-time major winner remains a hugely influential figure in the game. It means the new board will be made up of six player-directors, five independent directors – including a replacement for Randall Stephenson, who resigned over “serious concerns” about the deal last month – and the PGA of America director. Woods becoming a player-director is part of what the PGA Tour announced last week as a new agreement “to ensure that the Tour lives up to its mission of being a player-driven organisation, for the players, by the players”. Masters champion Jon Rahm said players felt a sense of “betrayal” that the deal was negotiated in secret, with PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan facing calls to resign when the Framework Agreement was revealed on June 6. Woods and McIlroy have been the biggest advocates of the established tours in their battle with LIV Golf, but were kept in the dark before the shock announcement of a deal between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which bankrolls LIV.
TIGER WOODS PGA TOUR 09 DRIVER
In spite of all that, there is still nothing like taking a 9.5 degree driver and absolutely belting the ball into a tree, complete with bullet-time and sound effects.Rory McIlroy has thanked Tiger Woods for easing the burden on his fellow players by joining the PGA Tour’s policy board in response to anger at the proposed deal between golf’s rival factions. We have, I fear, slipped back into what I regard as ‘sterile’ territory – as soon as there’s something that might inspire a little bit of emotion, get rid of it in favour of racking up silly points and beating 13-year-olds on the other side of the pond.
Collecting trophy balls, once a main part of the game, seems to have faded into the background in the way that features do when EA think they’ve come up with a better gimmick. Now they’re barely worth scrolling through. I used to love wandering around looking at all the things I’d won. The ‘Trophy Room’ is now not a room, or indeed a whole pavilion, and doesn’t even have any trophies in it. I also have serious problems with the crowd, because although there at least IS one now (to go with the overly manic cheering), they look dreadful.Īlso gone, it turns out, is the one feature which deeply enamoured me to the GameCube version. If you enjoyed listening to the inane – admittedly repetitive – bantering, and having Feherty abuse you when you hit a crap shot, you will not be happy with this. You’ll also have great difficulty making a character that looks like you if you choose not to upload your photo to the EA Sports servers – for some reason they have abandoned the better-than- Oblivion face modeller and gone with a very sparse effort which made me look like either a bimbo or the sourest librarian on the planet.īut it’s the commentary which is the biggest let-down – Gary McCord and David Feherty have been replaced by Sam Torrance and some woman whose voice deeply irritated me (apparently her name is Kelly Tilghman) and there is no interplay between them whatsoever. There’s a certain stylisation going on which makes them somewhat sub-photorealistic, and water effects are still a bag of crap even when compared to things that came out five years ago. Much has been said about the graphics in this, but to be quite honest I still think they’re nowhere near as impressive as you could expect. However, if you want to recreate the many hours of practice which goes on behind the scenes in any major tournament, you can.
They’re completely optional this is a blessing on a few of the tougher ones, since Hank is evil. Your coach, actual Mr Woods trainer Hank Haney, puts together exercises designed to help you improve again, and these are based on the current course you are playing. Although it’s arguably still too easy, getting a par score whilst visiting every bunker and stretch of rough will result in your statistics decreasing, making it harder to do it again next time. The main game now involves a nod towards actual skill.
