Augusta National Golf Course, home of the Masters Tournament, has announced that for the first time ever, non-members will be allowed to play the golf course. The most prestigious golf course in North America opens for play, virtually, on March 29 with the release of Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters from EA Sports.
EA announced today a collaboration with Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament that will allow players to step onto the hallowed grounds of Augusta National, experience the rich history and tradition of the Masters Tournament and begin their own journey to capture the most sought-after prize in professional golf – the Green Jacket.
The Masters edition will go on sale in North America on March 29 and worldwide on April 1, available on the Wii, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, with support of the PlayStation Move controller. The Masters and five additional courses will also be included in the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12 Collector’s Edition, developed exclusively for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system.
“For more than a decade, the Masters Tournament has been the most requested and coveted feature for the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR franchise among our fans,” said Peter Moore, president of EA SPORTS. “Pairing the number one golf video game franchise with the most prestigious golf tournament in the world is a perfect marriage and we’re thrilled to bring our fans this exciting opportunity to experience Augusta National Golf Club like never before.”
