Attachment 6770Tiger Woods Online has officially launched, and it's a surprisingly enjoyable experience. It's free-to-play, and you can log straight in with the same Electronics Arts account details you use for Bad Company 2 and other EA games. As you play you'll earn XP and cash for the Pro Shop. For those not wanting to save up their virtual bank-roll, you can spend real money on items or rounds of golf at locked courses...

EA's Peter Moore said in an interview with CNBC today that the title is designed to pull in an audience of "40-year golfers, mostly male." I'm about 15 years shy of that, and I don't even particularly like golf - but I do like this! And it seems PC Gamer does too, calling it the "the future of sports games on the PC". See you on the green.

this loads slower than a c64 tape game.

No issues here - everything was virtually instantaneous.

I haven't played it for very long but I imagine it's possible to play a round with friends, is this the case?

Dunno. Let's find out. Created a Mumble channel for it.

Oh to have the time to play during the day.

I'm "you_say_what_now".
Only been able to play 2 rounds so far.
As if I transferred my net connection 2 weeks before my furniture arrives at the new place.

I've always loved golf games though and this is no exception.
