Well, at least on the computer. PGA Tour 2001 is better in many aspects compared to last years game. You can play a regular round of golf, match play, presidents cup or just practice if you like. Basically, its tough to get bored. This game consists of two cd's packed with different courses to play. Although the game is good, I still think the Links LS series is a little better, but in this game you can play as Tiger. The graphics are good, problem is you really need a fast, newer video card to be able to handle it, otherwise it looks blocky. The players swings are very crisp and smooth as well. I guess if there is any downside, its that the system requirements are fairly steep, but it does still look good on older machines. If you are thinking about buying a golf game for your computer I would give this game a try along with Links LS, both are very similar, and you won't go wrong with either game.

TW 2001 is not bad,except the graphics.instead of seeing a nice smooth swing it's choppy most of the time.Adding 3 new courses and 2 new players was great,but the graphics problem really takes away from it.It is a small improvement from last year's though.I would suggest you get and try it out and wait until TW 2002 and hope they improve it.

Although TW2001 is a great golf sim, I'd have to give it a 4.5 (Rounded up to 5).

With TW2000, if you had enough speed, hard drive space, and RAM, it was definitely worth buying. The same thing applies for 2001. But if you're not going to be using Course Architect, you can save the extra space, and you can always install it later.

If you own and have played past versions of the game, it takes getting used to with the new interface.

The graphics are great. With a 366 Mhz Pentium II, and 128MB SDRAM, I was very pleased with the results. The golfers' animations are perfectly timed. The course layouts and designs are very accurate.

The course selection is a nice variety. A total of 17 courses. The 3 new courses are TPC at Sugarloaf, TPC at River Highlands, and Robert Trent Jones Golf Club.

The gameplay was very nice. Driving was as easy as before, and the same thing goes with the other types of swings. And the putting is much better when compared to Links LS.

And just like earlier versions, TW2001 is backwards compatible with the earlier versions, earlier expansions, and more recent expansions in the EA Sports PGA Tour System of Golf.

The best new feature is the President's Cup, where you can choose the golfers for the two teams and also allows you to have created players entered by selecting on the settings which President's Cup Team he/she is eligible for.

Even with a few flaws, TW2001 is still definitely worth buying!

I have played Tiger Woods 99 and enjoyed it very much. I cannot say the same for this version. The game play is slow and there are several minor glitches. No single glitch is very bad, but when you add up all the small glitches together, it gets quite annoying.

In addition, this game is quite difficult, especially compared with Tiger Woods 99. I was able to shoot below par pretty often on the pro setting with Tiger Woods 99, but now I average 8-10 strokes over par on Tiger Woods 2001.

The main reason I bought this game was for the new courses, and they are great. With the older version, playing only three courses got boring after a while. This version has many more to choose from, which is a huge improvement. And as always, the computers courses are very close to the real ones. Playing many of these courses in real life is very expensive, so Tiger Woods golf is a nice alternative.

I purchased this title with the intent of running it on my Win2k Pro PC, but it ended up not being compatible. I know the system requirements only list 95/98/ME, but games with those specs usually end up working on NT based systems as well. I ended up installing it on my ME system instead. It's odd because that PC is a blazing P3 1Ghz with 256M of RAM and all other hardware exceedingly surpasses the requirements but it still ran rather sluggish. Not only that but it seemed to lock up at regular intervals--even with the software patches available at EA's site. If I were you, I'd wait until next year's version, which is bound to have even more courses, fewer loading problems and (fingers crossed) multiple O/S support.

Classic golf game that works great on my older computer.It has alot of potential for making challenging shots and you can hook up online with other friends

This is the only golf game I have... Great graphics,,took a little to get the controls down to fine tune....But once I got going I was hooked!! Made a 108 yard shot and put it right in the hole!!! What a rush,,Ha!!!! Paid a decent price,,,Well worth it....

This title is for those who said the game was bad. Really, i hate golf but in the last couple of weeks i enjoyed it. So then i bought tiger woods 2001. I read people's comments and tried to ignore their stupid suggestions. Just then i installed my game into the hardware. It only took 3mins! When i started to play the game, i have to admit, it was really hard to control the ball even in beginner stage! Now people said the game has a few flaws and that it runs slow but they have them selves to blame! They should have read the manuals and system requirments section before buying this game so they could know if the game as reliable. Anyhow, the graphics is great but yes there were a few flaws only. The sound is terrific and the gameplay also starts to be easy when you get used to swing the ball alot. I must say this game is good but many costumers are very dumb to say that tiger woods 2000 is better.

I find this game very difficult, and also very slow. The courses are very good but the overall game not so good compared to other golf games which are also a lot cheaper.

Tiger Woods 2001 is the biggest waste of time and money. TW 2000 is quicker faster and smoother. The game has had little to no chenges at all. There are no new animations nor improvements in graphics. I think that EA Sports just put the same cd in a new box. I would never recommend this game to anyone. I actually received it for free since I purchased 2 other EA sports game and I wish I never had. I was so disapointed.
