As users advance through the timeline, they will see \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 and feel the true ball physics and equipment representative of each era. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In the early eras, ball spin and trajectory are slower and lower in \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 comparison to how the ball reacts to today\u2019s equipment. Fans will be able \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 to hit the links with retro golf clubs, such as Mashies, Brassies, Baffing \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Spoons, Jiggers and Niblicks. Pairing the old equipment with the \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 true-to-life ball physics from those early years gives golf fans an \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 authentic gameplay representation of what it was like to play a round in \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 those eras.<\/li>\n<li><b>Presentation <\/b>elements \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 in <i>Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14<\/i> have been completely revamped to put \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 players right into the action and emotion of a PGA TOUR broadcast. The \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 first thing users will see is new situation specific data, scoring and a \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 broadcast presentation package that emulates a tournament-like television \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 experience. Additionally, statistics will surface throughout each round, \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 letting you track your performance against the rest of the field in a \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 variety of categories such as, driving distance, putts per hole and \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 birdies. This year, <i>Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14<\/i> will feature over 3,300 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 camera shots, including overhead, close-up and green-side angles in \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 addition to many others. Even the look and feel of <i>Tiger Woods PGA TOUR \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 14<\/i> will shift alongside its real-life majors as players will also see \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 the leaderboards that are distinct and synonymous with the Masters \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tournament, U.S. Open, The Open Championship and the PGA \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Championship.<\/li>\n<li><b>Twenty four unique golfer swing styles <\/b>are available this year, enabling players to customize \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 gameplay to the next level.

Players now have the opportunity to choose whether they want \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 to be a power-draw hitter like Dustin Johnson or swing like Luke Donald \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 who has pin point accuracy off the tee.
