Electronic Arts Inc. (EA Sports) has announced that fans will be able to battle nine of the greatest golf legends of all time, including Jack Nicklaus, in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 14. The all-new game mode, Legends of the Majors, gives players a chance to travel back through time and relive the rich history of golf by matching up against the sport’s greatest legends, including the Golden Bear, Seve Ballesteros, Ben Hogan, Bob Jones, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Sam Snead, Lee Trevino and Tiger Woods. Players can work their way through these legends in various eras and take each of them down to earn their own seat at the table of golf legends.
Hoisting the Claret Jug, chasing Jack’s record of 18 major victories, and slipping on the coveted Green Jacket are now all within a player’s reach. In Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 users, for the first time in franchise history, have a chance to go for winning the “Grand Slam” by playing historical events in all four majors, the Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, The Open Championship and the PGA Championship—a feat Nicklaus accomplished three times during his storied career.
The game goes on sale in North America on March 26 and worldwide on March 28, for both the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, including support for the Kinect™ for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation®Move.
