Hank Haney Serves as Gamers Personal Performance Coach


June 17, 2008 – Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09 features dynamic, personalized gameplay via Tiger Woods’ personal coach, Hank Haney. An all-new addition to this year’s game, Haney will assist gamers as they hit the links and try to advance their career to win the FedExCup. Right out of the box, Haney will assess your game in four areas: Power, Accuracy, Short Game and Putting and gamers will be given a skill level in each of those four areas.

In Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09, a player’s skill level is dynamic, constantly adjusting throughout the round just as it would during a real afternoon out on the links. Following each round, Haney will deliver customized feedback on a player’s performance. This feedback system allows all gamers, rookies or PGA TOUR pros, to compete and enjoy the game at any level.

Available for download (instructions below) is a video that illustrates Hank Haney’s role in the game and the Performance Coach feature.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR will be available on August 26 on the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system, the PlayStation®2 and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment systems, the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system and Wii™.
