X Box 360. PS3. PSP. Wii. PC. PS2

While a knee injury may bee keeping Tiger Woods of the fairways in the real World, there are no such problems for his digital self, who returns this week for an annual console jaunt.

On offer for 2009 are 11 updated courses plus brand new ones, including Wentworth's West course and the hazardfest that is the Sheshan International in Shanghai, China.

Elsewhere, Ryder Cup hero Sam Torreance takes a bow as one of the game commentators, while the career modes clever new Dynamic Attributes system constantly adjusts a player's skill level throughout the round - simulating a real aternoon out on the course.

The big new feature, however, is the appearance of Tiger's own coach Hank Haney, who is on hand to help you tune your clubs and give you feedback after each round as you attempt to climb the leader boards. It's a nice touch that eases newcomers into the game.

This is a good follow up from last years, with it's tweeks and subtle improvements and is going to be a must for all golf enthusiasts everywhere.
