EA Sports challenges you to beat Tiger Woods and the rest of the 2009 U.S. Open. Do you accept the challenge? I would sure try it... After plenty of practice on amateur mode, of course. Sounds pretty tough, to me. I'm not one for golf, but I do like a bit of competition, especially in the gaming world. It's worth a shot!
June 17, 2009 – EA SPORTS invites you to take on Tiger Woods and the
rest of the leaderboard for the 2009 U.S. Open at Bethpage Black as
they grind it out to see who takes home the second major title of the
year! Thanks to the new relationship with the United States Golf
Association, during the week of the U.S. Open (June 18-21) golf fans
can jump online and participate in the inaugural Upper Deck Challenge,
featuring the 2009 U.S. Open, via the EA SPORTS Live Tournaments mode.
So fire up your Xbox 360 or PLAYSTATION 3 console and tee it up to
experience the all-new EA SPORTS Live Tournaments mode, which has been
an overwhelming hit with longtime fans and newcomers to the Tiger
Woods PGA TOUR franchise alike. You may just take home some authentic
Tiger Woods memorabilia in the process.



The Upper Deck Challenge featuring the 2009 U.S. Open will include two
levels to choose from – Amateur and Tour Pro, so there’s something for
everyone! The Amateur division is for less experienced players who
are looking to get a feel for the U.S. Open and the famous Bethpage
Black course. For those looking for a real test of major-like
conditions, they can select the Tour Pro division where you can win
authentic Tiger Woods memorabilia provided by Upper Deck
Authenticated. Visit www.UpperDeckStore.com for a full assortment of
authentic Tiger Woods autographed memorabilia.



But if you want to compete with the real-world pro golfers, select
Play the Pros mode and see if you can win bragging rights for beating
Tiger’s score.



The all-new EA SPORTS Live Tournaments allows players to tee it up in
daily and weekly tournaments. It also includes an innovative mode
called Play the Pros where you can play alongside actually PGA TOUR
pro scores during real-world pro tournaments.



EA SPORTS Live Tournaments has been applauded by not only media but
also consumers. Here are what fans are saying about EA SPORTS Live
Tournaments.



“I LOVE IT! Just finished rd 1. Shot +2 I really say I could ‘Feel
the Drama’ I also had my PDA on pga.com at the same time and the
updates were simultaneous! Lots 'O Fun!”

“The LIVE tourneys are basically the best part of the game in my
opinion. It is almost like having an online career mode.”

-King Javo

“I have been playing golf games for many years but over the last few
years it's been strictly offline play. This year's version has me
hooked with Tour Mode daily's and I'm looking forward to the Play The
Pros as well. You have rejuvinated my interest in competition for
Tiger Woods console golf games online and for that, I thank you.”
