GAME Customers Get The Chance To Take On Tiger Woods
11th September 2006 - Think you can tame Tiger? Can you combine your gaming and golf skills and hold you nerve when you're face-to-face with the world's number one golfer, Tiger Woods? If so, GAME and EA SPORTS needs you to take the Tiger challenge in London on Monday 25th September 2006.
To celebrate the launch of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07, Tiger is coming to a secret London location and he wants you to challenge him in a virtual and real-life golf challenge. Tee off on one of the signature Par 3 holes from the toughest courses from around the world in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 before walking to the green to take your Birdie putt against the great man himself. Can you hold your nerve when the pressure is on?
GAME customers should visit www.game.co.uk/tigerwoods and answer a simple question, to be in with the chance of meeting Tiger. The grand prize winner will be drawn at random after the closing date of 15th September 2006 and be given the opportunity to be made into a video games character in the new Tiger Woods game! 50 further winners will then be selected to attend the event.
To appear in the game players have to win the K Club Match Play Challenge on Tiger Woods PGA 07. They will play five holes where eight contestants will be involved in a knockout competition.
There will also be a putting challenge on the day where contestants can try to beat Tiger. If they sink their ball in one they win an Xbox 360. Miss and they go away with the EA SPORTS goodie bag. All 8 players putt with Tiger, have their photo taken with him on the green and win a personalised signed copy of the game.
