If you just want to play a game, then Play Now is the mode for you to get a quick game to your own specifications going. The game starts you out with a nice Practice Mode, which is available in every game mode except for Skills 18. Want to see the Shot Confidence and other new features in effect, watch as the game’s producer explains on video. Using only your putter, it feels like mini-golf.

The 18 holes have big hills, 50-yard banked slopes, a big S-shaped banked path, a narrow bridge over water, and sand traps.

Online Tiger is introducing GamerNet for a major focus on community-building. You'll be loving the return of three-click putting here.

You're still working with the familiar putting grid system, but the new Putt Line View gives you only one look at the actual path of your putt. Vets might roll their eyes at yet another adjustment to the putting game, but this one's a welcome nudge. On the green the game ups the challenge level. The more confident you are the better your odds of making that shot. This stat, measured as Confidence, affects the size of the True Aiming targeting circle (from last year), which covers the approximate area where you're aiming your shot. analyses how well you're playing for each shot you take and records this data for all future matches. When you get your basics in gear, Tiger 08 enables you to work on your confidence to improve your game. Breaking your swing into button presses is more accurate than the hard-to-gauge stick, particularly when you're trying to save par from the rough or from out of the bunkers. This is a nice complement to the game's standard analogue stick swing technique. For one, the three-click swing returns as an easy-to-access option. Some key control changes really smooth out your golf game.
