Is releasing on March 29th.  Just in time to get you warmed up for spring and hitting the real links.  What makes these games the holy grail of golf games is their constant search of perfection.  I still currently own TW2008 because it is such a great game to play.

With the new installment comes the addition of non other than Jim Nantz, who is one of golf’s best color commentators.  And finally you are going to see the Masters as part of the game.  That’s right golf nerds, Augusta National has been digitized and will be there for you to play in all its glory.

New features and enhancements include:

Masters Moments – Play through memorable, historic moments as players try to measure up against some of the sport’s greatest legends.

Tiger at the Masters – Relive each of Tiger’s four wins at the Masters by attempting to equal or beat his scores in each round of the Tournament.

The Caddie Experience – Behind every great golfer is a trusted and reliable caddie. Players will have a caddie by their side on every swing, providing strategic advice, from shot selection to reading greens, helping them become a more successful golfer.

The Closest Thing to Being There – For the first time ever, EA SPORTS™ utilized a new state-of-the art laser scanning technology at Augusta National Golf Club to laser scan every hole featured in the game. This will provide players with the most authentic digital representation of the Tournament and Par 3 courses. Every tree, every azalea and every undulation in every green was recreated down to the smallest detail.

Broadcast Presentation – Feel the emotion of every swing as called by the all-new commentary team of Jim Nantz and David Feherty, who headline a completely revamped TV broadcast presentation package.

Career Mode – The all-new career mode will closely mirror the journey of an amateur golfer’s rise through the ranks and chase the title of Masters champion.

New Players – Over 20 professional golfers to choose from, including Zach Johnson (2007 Masters Champion) and Bubba Watson (2010 Ryder Cup – Team USA).

Championship Courses – Take on the best of the best on sixteen of the world’s most celebrated courses, including Augusta National Golf Club, Royal Melbourne Golf Club (Australia), Atlanta Athletic Club, TPC San Antonio, St Andrews Links and Pebble Beach Golf Links.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 12: The Masters is developed in Orlando, Fla., by EA Tiburon and will retail for $59.99 on Xbox 360® and PlayStation®3, $49.99 on the Wii™, and the PlayStation®3 exclusive Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 12 Collector’s Edition will be available for $69.99.

One would think that this years version would be best played on the PS3’s motion controller, since that will make the experience that much better.  But no doubt that all versions will still knock the knickers off of your caddie.  Pre order this now here.

“I am very happy and excited that the Masters Tournament is featured in the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR game,” said Tiger Woods.  “There are many new and unique elements in the game that will make everyone feel like they’re really competing at Augusta National.  This is great for the sport and will connect a new audience with the Masters, a tournament I’ve been fortunate to experience since 1995.  Continually growing the visibility of golf is important to attracting newcomers to the sport, and I agree that showcasing the Masters Tournament in the game will bring an entirely new dimension to that approach.”
