Aspyr Media on Tuesday announced that Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 is now shipping. The Electronic Arts golf game was developed for the Mac by the publisheris internal Aspyr Studios team. This latest version of the Tiger Woods PGA Tour game lets players create their own golfer, tweaking every aspect of his appearance with the Game Face feature, and then send him on the amateur or professional circuit.
The game also offers more PGA Tour players than the last edition, with opportunities to play against not only Tiger himself but also Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan and other legends. Players can also take on those golfersi personas and steps into their shoes for 18 holes.
The new Tiger Proofing course modification feature lets players change every aspect of a courseis dynamics, from lengthening the tees to tightening or widening the fairways to even deciding how often the greens are maintained.

The game comes with eight new courses, including two fantasy courses set in Japan and Australia.
