Electronic Arts has officially launched Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online, their browser-based pro golf game. For a subscription fee you get access to more content and features. You can also purchase packages of points that will give players access to purchasing in-game items from the Pro Shop or rounds of golf.
Want to test your skills on the cliffs at Pebble Beach, or the infamous 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass? With Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® Online, you can take on the world’s most challenging and legendary courses. And with the Course Mastery feature, you can tackle each course with a series of increasingly challenging objectives. Score multiple birdies, complete a 300+ yard drive and sink record-breaking putts to earn the title of Course Champion. Every course provides its own set of challenges, and the more courses you master, the more bragging rights you’ll earn!
EA has confirmed plans to release a browser-based golf title that will be offered through a multi-tiered subscription from autumn 2009.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online will be streamed to web browsers and require no game installation, disc or additional peripherals.
Players will be able suspend play at any time and resume from the same point later on, said EA. At launch the game will feature “several world class championship courses,” with new features to be added “regularly.”
“Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online is for anyone who loves golf and is on-the-go,” said executive producer Mike Taramykin. “Whether you have ten minutes on your PC in the office, or hours on your Mac at home, this is a golf game that makes time for you. With Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online, golf lovers can satisfy their golf fix anytime.”
