THE MISSING LINK | Woods gets into swing of new game
Tiger Woods wants to crush your golf ego -- right in your own living
room. Apparently when game-maker Electronic Arts trumpets its
long-standing mantra, "If it's in the game, it's in the game," it's
no joke. When Woods signed on to lend his name and likeness to EA's
golf simulator he wasn't about to let the programmers render him as
some slice-minded duffer. An avid gamer, Woods went to great lengths
to ensure that his swing looks real and that the game suits his
style. But take heart, you'll probably be able to beat cyber Tiger
long before you'd ever slip into that green Masters' Tournament
champion jacket for real.
