Tiger Woods?

[DSpydr84]

Does anyone here play Tiger Woods? It'd be cool to start a couple online tournaments like the Masters or whatever. Make a leaderboard and have the best golfer on VSN and shit. Drop a line in here if you play Tiger or would be interested in something like this.

 

[celtsxpatsxsox]

wow...I was just thinking about something like this. I would be interested when Tiger Woods 10 comes out.

 

[DNEUM]

I don't have 09 anymore, but we should definitely do this when Tiger 10 drops.

 

[Virix]

Id be down.

 

[DSpydr84]

You guys all have 360's don't you? Fuck, that is going to be the one thing that sucks about switching from the box to the ps3.

I'm PS3, but what I'm really trying to do with this idea is make this the first bi-system tournament on VSN, because in golf you're really only playing against the course. It's hard because you have to trust the guys enough to post the right scores, so we'll have to come up with a better way of doing that. Hopefully when Tiger10 drops we'll have a cool way of going about it, because I'd really like for this thing to cover both systems and I don't think that's too much of a reach.

 

[Chrispy]

i would so be in this

 

[DSpydr84]

I think you can all just play on the same settings and then have a few people play together in their tournament "round" and they will all record the scores. This way they attest that the other people shot the score that they did and vise-versa.

Money. We got the concept, now let's get the people.

 

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

I am definately in....PS3 version too

 

[Rylo]

Would be create our own players or what? I've never played Tiger Woods, but I'd be dow.

 

[DSpydr84]

We would probably start out playing with pre-made guys because it takes a little while for everyone to get their created players good. I think it would be more fun to eventually have your own player playing though.

I was thinking we all just start with our created guys and if we all suck, we all suck. It'd be cool to have a guy win an early tournament with a -1 or whatever instead of -20. We'll work it out though, we still have plenty of time.

 

[Rylo]

I may rent Tiger Woods just to do this then. Good time to try the franchise it seems.

 

[j.hen]

Sounds good, I've been wanting to buy a Tiger Woods game but never sprang on it.

 

[RainboUnicorn]

Yeah when 10 comes out I would be down. I like the idea of playing with created players. Or play with like real golfers minus like a few elite guys (tiger). We could have a random draft on who gets who

Tiger Woods Tentative and Unofficial Schedule​

I wanted to post it to stir up some interest and see what you guys think of the format cbgolfer13 and myself whipped up. We're gonna be running this thing together since he wanted to run one anyway, and it works out because he's on 360 and I'm on PS3.

P.S. This is all TENTATIVE, so everything can be changed (the names, the courses, the dates, the number of rounds, etc.). I'm just posting this to see what people think of the format. Also, I understand the times given are a bit long, and some may like them to be shortened. We can always go faster if everyone is playing faster, or if everyone agrees we should go faster. Like I said, we have plenty of time to figure things out, and this is not at all official. I want to hear your guys' feedback about it first.

** denotes a Major tournament (I realize the Masters and the U.S. Open are not real-time accurate. Sue me).
Not all tournaments are mandatory, but playing in more tournaments will give you a better chance at being ranked higher. We were talking about making restrictions for the Majors if we get enough people (only the top 20 golfers, for example, can play in the Majors) but that's not at all set in stone.



Discuss.

 

[Yawkey Way]

i am SO down to do this

 

[Yawkey Way]

golf competition is so awesome, its such an underrated sport.

maybe dneum can pull some strings and get a few early copies or something.

 

[killgod]

Ya I am excited, I think this will def turn into a legit league/competition once the game drops. Only correction spyder is that Augusta isn't on the game so we can't really play the Masters on the same course. Maybe play a course that is similar or something, but we can't play Augusta sadly. Cody I think you are definitely thinking in the right direction with the leaderboards and stuff, this will be a season long competition and I think stat tracking with rankings and such would benefit the competition alot. We will get all this stuff hammered out within the next few months and we should have a nice set up when the game drops.

i thought it wasn't, which sucks. i don't know why EA hasn't attempted to put that course in the game....it would certainly generate more sales.

i'm totally in for TW10

 

[spidey12293]

i'll be in this, should be fun during the summer

Augusta seems like such a stuck-up place, they probably won't let EA on their course to take the pictures.

And codizzle that would be sick to get a couple articles up and such on the front page, I'll have to stay in touch with those guys about it. I guarantee if we have 15-20 golfers (which we pretty much already have) when this game drops and we get a few articles up, people will take notice. Gotta win that first Major at St. Andrews before the crowd gets large.

 

[kmanharris]

I will be interested in this. Just a matter of if I can get the game or not.

OT: I have been to St. Andrews. The golf course is beautiful. I have my picture with my brother standing on the bridge on the course.
