Why golf coach Hank Haney is going to be your new best friend

Haney even gets in on the act during the Club Tuner, too. You could faff about for hours in the VR-style driving range smacking balls hither-and-thither to your heart's content, tweaking the spin, 'workability' or power of your clubs as you see fit. Or, you could just hit a few shots and let Haney suggest the best alterations to suit your own swing.

Like we said, thecore of Tiger Woods - the analogue-stick swing gameplay - was just about perfect the first time it appeared. Now, with Hank Haney backing you up and a Gran Turismo level of tool tinkering on offer, it looks like EA is seriously upping the surface quality too. We'll have our hands on Tiger's balls shortly for a proper gameplay report.
