  I saw this while doing some searching.....this is copied from EA's Tiger web site...

  "For the first time in gaming history, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 will feature all four Majors – The Masters, U.S Open, The Open Championship and PGA Championship. Go for golf’s Grand Slam and try to rewrite history as you try to take down some of the game’s greatest Legends!"

  They go on to say they have exclusive licenses for all 4 majors. While i really dont care, i would be just as happy with Torrey Pines, Medinah or other courses like that, just wondering what this means.

  wgt will have merion for us this year which is obviously where the us open is.

  we didnt get the open championship last year which was a massive disapointment .

  the masters is at augusta  which wgt will never have :(

  if wgt had all the courses that tigerwoods have i dont think id ever leave the house lol.

  i hope we do get the open championship this year or get 2 hd courses at least ...

  i guess that would explain why there's no more USGA zone ...

  You might be right but we always can give it a try: CLICK HERE and let Augusta know you would love 2 play it on WGT

  I sent my request too.....im guessing no one has heard back lol.

  I Think Merion will be the last major course for wgt.

  Maybe its time to release another set of pins at RSG.And start looking for the next course

  Well maybe it's a good thing. Instead of now paying for the rights to USGA sponsored tourneys, the money can be spent getting more private or good public courses.

  just seen it too, looks good.

  What this means is possibly WGT dont have a lot of clout, they cant and never will compete with EA 

  Bet you dont have to buy balls either!!
