Tiger Woods 10 DLC Available for XBL, PSN
Published on: 23rd July, 2009
EA has released a new downloadable content pack for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The new piece of content is the Canadian course Banff Springs, for 600 Microsoft Points or $7.50. This is the same price as the previous two DLC courses, The Predator and Spyglass Hill.
Of course, if you bought the Wii version, you already have Banff Springs available on the disc; it was one of 11 courses included that weren’t in the other console versions. If this is a sign of things to come, we might see other international courses like Fancourt Links or Sheshan Golf Club appear as DLC despite being already available on the Wii. This kind of extra value could be what bolstered the Wii version to a high spot in the June NPDs while the others didn’t place in the top 10 — though we’re sure the appeal of Wii MotionPlus didn’t hurt.
