Electronic Arts delivers Tiger Woods to interactive golf on two platforms, as EA SPORTS ships the latest of its Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® Golf series for the PC and the PlayStation® video game console. In its final version of Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Golf for the PlayStation console, EA SPORTS^TM tees up its most comprehensive console golf title to date with eight elite PGA TOUR professionals, six prestigious courses, faster gameplay, crisper graphics and six different game modes, including a new EA SPORTS PGA TOUR Challenge mode.

``We worked really hard to perfect the PlayStation game this year,'' said John Vifian, Executive Producer of the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Golf franchise. ``We focused on the feel and fun factor of gameplay, as well as the depth of the features, so that the game would be appealing and have replay value for years.''

The game sports an even deeper line-up of top golfers. Stewart Cink, Robert Damron and Mark Calcavecchia enhance the depth of the PlayStation game's roster. The different game modes accommodate any golfer's interests, ranging from ``skins'', to match and stroke play, tournaments, practice, as well as the new EA SPORTS PGA TOUR Challenge. TOUR Challenge mode allows players to compete as amateurs, turn pro and have their skills tested at every step on their way up the competitive TOUR ladder.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2001 for the PC has 17 courses, 11 PGA TOUR golfers and the exclusive new Presidents Cup^TM game mode. The addition of Stuart Appleby and Jim Furyk gives the PC game its deepest player roster to date. The Presidents Cup mode, along with the addition of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club®, allows players to recreate this year's Presidents Cup challenge. The mode allows for a team tournament where players compete on either the United States or the International Team. Foursomes, fourball, and singles match play formats recreate the patriotic feel of the Presidents Cup competition. Two other new courses in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2001, TPC at Sugarloaf and TPC at River Highlands round out the extensive course list that touts nine other Tournament Players Club courses along with the Las Vegas Country Club, Badlands Golf Club, Colonial Country Club^TM, Cog Hill and the Bay Hill^TM Club.

The PC game continues to push technology to the next level and maintain its market share leadership position for PC golf titles. Complementing the courses, players and gameplay modes are the technical aspects of the game that combine with the features to deliver a well-rounded and smooth playing game. The 3-D game engine delivers full screen, real-time cameras that allow for reverse, gallery and ball camera angles for an ``on the course'' view and feel to the game. Precise golf ball physics are engineered specifically for accurate ball flight, spin, bounce and putting roll, but players must also be alert to the wind meter and lie indicator in order to get off the best possible shot.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2001 is a comprehensive PC game with complete online functionality for both golfing competition as well as course creation. The Play Against The Pros^TM competition, that successfully debuted with Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2000, returns allowing PC golfers to go online and compete live shot for shot against PGA TOUR pros like Tiger Woods in selected PGA TOUR events. The Course Architect^TM 2000, a separate disc included in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2001, is a graphical tool that puts the bulldozers, lawnmowers and blueprints of the golf course architects at the golfer's fingertips. Players can design and build, hole-by-hole, their fantasy golf course or replicate their favorite local golf course -- the possibilities are endless. Consumers can then save their custom course creations in-game, share them online and even compete over the Internet playing these new courses.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2001 is expected to ship for the new PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system Winter 2001. Headgate Studios^TM developed Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2001 for the PC and Stormfront Studios developed Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Golf for the PlayStation. Both titles are rated ``E'' (Everyone) by the ESRB. Consumers may purchase the game directly at the EA Store(SM) (http://www.eastore.ea.com), the TOUR's site (http://www.pgatour.com) or by calling EA Direct Sales at 877/324-2637. Both the PC and the PlayStation titles have a suggested retail price of $39.95.
