LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EA Mobile™, a division of Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ:ERTS), today announced two of its biggest global franchises are available on the Apple App Store. Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® and Need for Speed™ Undercover were created for the unique capabilities of the iPhone and iPod touch and providing the graphic quality and simulation experience that is core to these successful franchises.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR makes its debut on iPhone/iPod touch offering 120+ holes across seven of the most famous golf courses in the world including Pebble Beach, St. Andrews, and TPC Sawgrass. EA Mobile introduces the one-of-a-kind, touch-n-drag Swing Meter providing subtle visual feedback to achieve the perfect swing. In addition, players can swipe the screen to manipulate the direction of the ball spin. This is the only game on the market that allows players to play as or against Tiger Woods and other pro golfers such as Annika Sorenstam, Vijay Singh, Natalie Gulbis and Retief Goosen. Players are pulled into a virtual round of golf as they are surrounded by stunning 3D graphics, dynamic camera angles and true-to-life sounds as well as play-by-play commentary throughout the game. With Tiger Woods PGA TOUR, players can escape and play a round of golf anytime, anywhere.
