It depends on the course. If you play the easy HB studios made courses like Little Brook, You could shoot 12 under without breaking a sweat. If you take 5 minutes resch a couple sights where the users make some quaity realistic courses, as well as some real recreated courses, it won't be as easy. TPC Sawgrass was significantly tougher on the golf club than it was on Tiger woods.

Stupid to throw another player on the cover, one that isn't particularly appealing at least to me. Their marketing must be telling them they have to have a face on that cover.

I would rather see EA drop a PGA player from the title and just go with something like "PGA Tour Golf" or "EA PGA Tour".

Other titles don't name themselves after a recently successful team or player. We don't see Patriots Football 16, or Messi Soccer 16, or St. Louis Cardinal Baseball 16.

Tiger Woods was a celebrity unlike any the sport has seen, and for a brief period, naming the series after him made sense. That's over now. It was the exception, EA shouldn't try to make it the norm.
