Just as it is on the PGA TOUR, the key to a good golf shot is execution and precision. In Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06 both analog sticks are used to give more control over each shot than ever. The left analog stick will continue to control the backswing and downswing, while the right analog stick, or "Shape stick", controls ball trajectory and spin. Players are now challenged to focus on the impact point on the ball, while thinking more strategically before executing a shot.

The game of golf is as much psychological as it is physical and a key for gamers in 2006 will be maintaining confidence. With tension on every shot and mounting pressure to become the best, you can either keep your composure or lose it and become that embarrassing hack on the course. Based on good or bad shots or scores you make, a Gamebreaker meter will increase or decrease based on the amount of confidence you possess.

For many weekend golfers, wagering while playing golf is a fun, competitive element and now gamers will be able to put their money where their mouth is and wage bets against their competition in the game. Whether it's a single shot or an entire round, gamers will be able to bet anytime on any shot. They'll also be able to call their shots before they hit it by naming exactly where they plan to hit the ball and if successful they will earn points and money to build their character.

Features:

Dual Analog Swing: New advanced swing technique uses both analog sticks to "shape" shots. The left analog stick executes the swing and the right analog stick shapes the shot, controlling ball trajectory and spin.
