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.
