Make sure you guys read the whole article, this may not be what you're envisioning it to be...

But it is a very nice thing to finally see in TW.

Yeah, come to find out that even shot tracers, depicting the ball flight - via shot tracers - of invisible playoff opponents is considered to be a "likeness" of the unseen player.... (sigh). We truly do live in the United States of the Litigious!? We'll playoff against a score that's posted *after* we finish the hole.... better than what we've had for sure, but I'm really shocked that they are legally bound from showing shot tracer arcs of unseen players!!??

What they could of did was just mention after each shot what your opponent did. IE: Tiger has hit it 320 yards down the left side of the fairway or Mickelson's 2nd shot has landed on the green 25 feet from the hole.

This workaround at least would have added some tension to the playoff without stepping on any legal toes.

I agree, this would seem like a good compromise. I'll take it for this year, and the licensing aspect sucks, but hopefully they build on this in the coming years.

So they have the PGA license which allows them to use names, but not the PGA players association (if their is one) license? How do other sports games make this work?
