LPGA Announces New Tournament

[About.com Golf] The event will be a full-field, 72-hole tournament with a purse of $1.3 million.

Review: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10

[Cinema Blend Feeds] Whereas before I saw golf as a boring, "old white man" sort of game, after playing Tiger '05 I became a fan of the sport. I never actually played another Woods game until this one, so while I don't know if this year's update may or may not be enough for those who purchased last year's edition, I can say that this is one of those rare games that, once the basics have been learned, is almost impossible to dislike.
