- When you boot up the game for the first time, it will check to see if you
have a save file from Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003. If so, it will give you a
bonus sponsorship from the start. For me it was a Ping Sponsorship with a
$50,000 signing bonus and $500 per item worn. To see what this means, see the
sponsorship section below.
- Tiger Woods 2002 save files DO count.
- Tiger Woods 2001 save files will NOT count.
- Other EA Sports Titles from 2003 will not give you a sponsorship, but
will give you a cash bonus.
- You can reject the bonus if you want to start from scratch.
- I haven't played any other EA 2004 titles, so I'm not sure what happens
when you boot up after having played Madden 2004 or some other title.
- According to 'jurell' from IGN.com message boards, EA 2004 save titles
like Madden 04 give you extra cash. He also says that EA 2002 titles
of any type will not count. Thanks 'jurell'!
- After you see the introductory movies, press the start button to move to the
menu. In order to do anything, you'll have to create your golfer first. This
mode is the single biggest improvement (or change - whatever your opinion) to
the game. See the "Create a Golfer" chapter below on how to do this.
- Once you've done this, I recommend you create your "EA Bio". This is the
first year they've done this. If you've already played Madden 2004 or NCAA
Football 2004, you probably have already done this.
- To do this, go to "My Tour". Click on your golfer's name. The first
option that comes up is the "EA Bio". Click on it. It will give you
a warning on the save file size, and create it for you once you click
"OK".
- The EA Bio will track your playing time and the 2004 EA Games that you
play. This will unlock certain items in the pro shop when you reach a
certain EA Bio level.
- You'll need to save your EA Bio every time you quit the game to ensure
you get credit. You do this by going to "My Tour" again, clicking on
the bio, and pressing the save button.
- After that, it's up to you which mode you do next. See the chapters below
for help!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 3) GAME MODES
A) Scenarios
- These are 30 "challenging" pre-set scenarios that have a pre-set score you
need to achieve. Based on your score, you get a Bronze, Silver, or Gold medal.
Getting all 30 Gold medals is not easy! Good luck! See Chapter 4 for more
details on the scenarios.
- You get one scenario right off the bat when you create your golfer. It's the
tutorial on how to play called "Tour Card". One free gold medal basically!
B) World Tour Mode
- This is the mode that used to be called Tiger Challenge in Tiger Woods 2002
and 2003. I think they've done a good job of cleaning this up this year. It
gives you lots of flexibility on what you want to do next.
- This is match play against various fantasy and real pro golfers.
- The one "fault" in this year's mode is that the Tour Cards are not directly
tied to your progress as they were in the past.
- See Chapter 5 below for more details.
C) PGA Tour Season Mode
- A much improved full PGA Tour Season that you can play with your created
golfer. Each tournament is a 4 day Thursday through Sunday event like the real
tour. There are still simulated features to this, such as having a tournament
at more than one course, but it's really neat.
- See Chapter 6 below for more details.
D) Arcade Modes
- This is the "fun" stuff. Mostly good for multiplayer fun. There are 4 types
including "SkillZone", "Battle Golf", "Speed Golf", and "Long Drive Shootout"
modes.
- See Chapter 7 below for more details.
E) Real Time Events
- Possibly one of the coolest features, there are events scheduled to occur on
certain dates based on the internal clock of your system. For example, every
full moon, there's a special event that you can win. The prizes are usually
unlocked items in the pro shop, in addition to cash.
- See Chapter 8 below for more details.
F) Traditional Games
- This is where the multiplayer is at, as well as "normal" golf if you just
want to hack around for a while without worrying about a tournament or a World
Tour mode.
- 8 Modes: stroke, match, skins, practice, stableford, alternate shot, best
ball, and fourball.
- See Chapter 9 below for more details.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 4) SCENARIOS
Notes:
1) Scenarios are preset modes. Trophy Balls, Records, Longest Drives, Eagles
and everything else DO NOT COUNT while doing scenarios.
2) You only have to get all 30 bronze medals (actually 29 bronze and the 1
automatic gold medal) in order to get the scenario completion trophy ball.
3) Gold Medals do unlock items in the pro shop though, so you do eventually
need to get all gold medals to complete everything in the game.
4) Scenarios can be played in any order. The tougher ones tend to be towards
the bottom of the list.
5) My recommendation: finish the World Tour first, build up your character,
then do the scenarios. It's alot easier to do some of these with a built up
character.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 5) WORLD TOUR MODE
- Notes:
1) Match play format - scoring works hole by hole. If you win the hole you go
"1 UP". If you lose the hole, you go "1 DOWN". Play continues to the end of
the course or until a player is mathematically eliminated. On the final hole
before mathematical elimination, the player is considered "DORMIE." That means
you have to win all the remaining holes to force a playoff. If you do not,
the match ends. The final tally is scored as "X & Y". The X stands for how
many holes up you were. The Y stands for how many holes you did not have to
play. On an 18 hole course, the best score you can get is a "10 & 8".
2) Round 1 is always the front 9 holes of a course instead of the full 18.
3) The compilation courses are just random holes from the previous three
courses in that region.
4) Tiger's Dream 18 is a compilation course. It is NOT Penguin Falls. Penguin
Falls was in Tiger Woods 2002 as Tiger's Dream 18. In Tiger Woods 2003, they
left that course out. They returned it this year as it's own course. Gamecube
owners do NOT have Penguin Falls. Sorry!
5) Trophy Balls can be earned here, as well as records made. Any eagles you
make count towards your Eagle Hunt. Some trophy balls cannot be earned in the
World Tour, such as Birdie Streak, Birdie Buster, Back to Back Eagles, Low
Round, and a few others. Each hole is played independently of each other.
6) When you win a match, you a) win cash, b) you unlock the golfer you played,
c) you sometimes unlock one of the holes on Tiger's Dream 18, and d) you some-
times unlock certain courses in the game (based on your earnings - see Chapter
11 for the earnings needed to unlock each course).
- The prizes I've listed below I can only guarantee if you follow the
World Tour "in order". The correct order is to do round 1 through each
region in numbered order. Then you do round 2 through each region in
numbered order.
7) The rounds without prizes listed are ones I haven't confirmed again yet.
Since I didn't write all this down the first time I went throug the game, I'm
having to play through again and write down the prizes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 6) PGA TOUR SEASON MODE
Notes:
1) Tournaments are like they are in real life: Thursday through Sunday, 4
rounds each.
2) These are stroke play, meaning that your score is tallied for each hole and
made cumulative through the round.
3) Your under par (or over par if you're struggling) score is cumulative
through the tournament for leader board purposes. For example, you may be 10
under for the round, but 40 under for the tournament.
4) All trophy balls, records, eagles, etc. count here. This is where you "make
your money" so to speak.
5) Sponsorships only count here! This is also where you "make your money". See
Chapter 21 for more details on sponsorships.
6) Many of the Tracking Tiger Trophy Balls are based around your tour stats,
results, and the like. See the Tracking Tiger section in Chapter 17 for more
details.
7) If the tournament has all four rounds played at one location, such as the
first tournament at Kapalua, then those tournaments start with the pins in
"Easy" location on Day 1, on Day 2 they're in the "Medium" location, on Day 3
"Hard", and on Day 4 "Expert".
8) If the tournament is played at different courses, such as the King's Trail
Championship, then the pins are usually at medium or worse difficulty on each
day.
9) Each tournament tees off from the black tees "Hard".
10) The purse is cumulative - meaning that the purse is the sum total of all
winnings, from first through last. You only win a share of that, even if you
win the tournament. You have to make the "cut" in order to be "in the money."
If you don't make the cut, then you earn no money.
11) If a tournament starts in one month and ends in the next, it counts towards
the later month for "player of the month" standings and the like.
