Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13

It's only a few missteps, including painstaking attention to detail, that keep PGA Tour 13 from being the same type of rebirth that Tiger Woods is hoping for on the actual Tour.

It’s been a year now since the publicity surrounding Tiger Woods’ marital mishaps forced any real acknowledgement of the star to be removed from EA’s premium golf series.

The Pins, Country Clubs and Legacy mode are all welcome additions, although they offer differing levels of appeal. Even with the masses of temptingly fenced-off content, and the obvious attempts to leverage more money out of you, the best courses are probably those that you have access to from the start so, if you don’t mind staring at greyed out course...
