Fallen golf star Tiger Woods might still be hurting emotionally due to his marital infidelity, but it seems as though his game on the green is hardly affected, narrowly missing out on the most recent tournament to hand Phil Mickelson the Green Jacket. Well, Tiger might have a bunch of sponsors leaving him, but at least he can still snuggle up to Electronic Arts executives with the latest rollout of the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Online game which provides mobile golfing via a web browser. Despite that seemingly limited software and hardware platform, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Online boasts stunning high resolution 3D graphics and requires virtually no game installation without the need for any discs or peripherals.

In addition to a free-to-play experience that allows unlimited access to featured courses, players will be able to choose from a monthly or yearly membership, offered at $9.99 and $59.99 respectively (pricing for North America). Tiger Woods PGA TOUR Online will also utilize a points-based transaction system allowing players to purchase packages of points at $9.99, $19.99 and $39.99 that can be used on in-game transactions, such as rounds of golf and Pro Shop items. Consumers who purchase the annual membership receive unlimited rounds on all available courses, and will be provided with a package of points that can be spent on Pro Shop items.

Other features available to players also include a Pro Shop, Group Tournaments, Friend to Friend Messaging and World Championship Courses for you to delve into. Anyone given it a go already?
