EA has just posted another Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 10 blog. This one covers live tournaments.

"Alright, I’ve been waiting all year to write this blog and I finally got the green light to do it. Our NEW Live Tournament feature is one we have been hinting at on the forums for some time now. We’ve been talking about what we were going to be doing “differently” with Daily Tournaments and this is it…and then some. Since you’ve all been waiting patiently (some impatiently) to hear what this feature is all about, I am going to try and go into as much detail as possible for you. I am currently on a plane out to Los Angeles where we will be unveiling this new Live Tournament s mode to the media. My laptop is draining battery as I type this, so let’s get crackin’…"

sounds interesting - like what I am reading. I think it will be very interesting to see how TW Players fair in the "Play the Pros" mode, especially on Beth Page Black. We all know that the real pros will most likely be in the Even range for the tourney, so hopefully we won't be shooting in the low 60's or even upper 50's.

Tell me about it. I look forward to trying to best the pro's at the US. Open. As much as I would like to win, I think that I would be upset if I shot a 62 in a round at the open and the leader shot a 69 or 70.

For those of you who shoot these rounds of 50's are you turning all aids off because in the TW PC versions I have no aids on and I have never come close to shooting in the 50's. Then again the PC version gives you one putter not these stupid multiple putter ranges that past console versions have. If people complain it's too easy then don't use these cheezy aids.

Well FWIW I play with on the tour pro difficulty, so I get no extra spin from hitting buttons.

This is an amazing and groundbreaking feature that I hope makes it way into their tennis games at some point, too.

These tournaments will be completely separate from the other online tournaments and they will be tweaked from the server side to make the scoring more realistic by adding difficulty in conditions, powercaps, etc, to induce more PGA TOUR-like scoring.....

Did anyone see some of those tournament scores!?! Rnd 1 -17 Rnd 2 -16, oh dear looks like we'll be shooting in the 40's to win these events
