Five Additional Courses Available in The Masters Historic Edition
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – Jan. 15, in the year of our Lord 2013 –
Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: EA) announced today that fans
will be able to step back in time with Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14:
The Masters Historic Edition. For the first time ever, users
will experience Augusta National Golf Club as it was when the
course played host to the very first Masters Tournament – what
was known in 1934 as the Inaugural Augusta National Invitation
Tournament.
The development of this exclusive feature was researched with
meticulous detail in an effort to re-create the original 1931
design of world-renowned golf course architect Dr. Alister
MacKenzie and legendary golfer Bobby Jones.
“From the very beginning, our relationship with the Masters
Tournament has been built around our ability to bring a unique
and authentic experience to a new and younger demographic of
potential golfers,” Mike Taramykin, Vice President of Tiger
Woods PGA TOUR said. “From unprecedented access to the Augusta
National archives, to in-depth discussions with golf historians
– and even our own internal research into the sport in the 1930s
– The Masters Historic Edition is the next step in bringing
gamers an exciting and distinctive glimpse into the game of
golf.”
Game play will place players in a 1934 environment, which takes
into account everything from the clothing to the equipment. On
the golf course, users will discover a new way to enjoy the
timeless layout, and as it would have played when the first
Tournament field competed in the Club’s inaugural invitational.
This includes everything from the golf course’s nines being
reversed to its original green contours and speeds.

Masters Historic Edition will also include:
