Play Golf at Home on the World’s Greatest Courses With 18 Different PGA Touring Pros — Including Tiger Woods!

Imagine playing Pebble Beach in a foursome with Tiger Woods, John Daly, and Jack Nicklaus — with no exorbitant greens fees! You can do that and more, in the comfort of your own home, using Tiger’s PGA Tour game software, the LaunchPad golf simulator, and the power of your PC. LaunchPad uses a digital optical signal and nine optical sensors that accurately measure clubhead speed, launch angle, swing path, and ball spin to calibrate distance and direction. The key is a tethered, regulation Dupont Surlyn ball on a smooth, ball-bearing mount that replicates the feel of a real shot. And the tethered tee permits realistic ball spin, so incredibly accurate impact and flight data are captured and transmitted through a USB cable to your computer.

Tiger Woods’ PGA Tour 2005 game software then visually projects your shots onto your computer screen or T.V., confirming distance, and whether you hit a slice or hook, fade or draw. You can play as Tiger Woods or any of 18 other top-notch pros (Vijay, Daly — even Natalie Gulbis!), or you can create and clothe a fantasy golfer — all of whom mimic your shot on the screen. Choose Tiger, and he’ll pump his fist if you hit it close, or sulk and mope to the next tee after a bad bogey! Stunning graphics give you photo-realistic, vivid views of every hole and hazard, from several angles! Includes Pebble Beach, TPC at Sawgrass, Harbor Town, St. Andrews, and 7 other Championship courses.

Also includes Legends Tour mode, permitting you to play against Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, or Gary Player — but only after you defeat less formidable qualifiers! Also lets you play Golf Course Architect, so you can lengthen holes, narrow the fairways, add bunkers — even grow the rough. All so you can Tiger-proof the world’s great courses! Fully compatible with Windows XP/2000/Me/98 and Mac OSX.
