I’m not going to say that the release of PGA Tour Golf Shootout (Free) right on the heels of Tiger Woods doing the late career hero thing and winning the Masters was planned, because these things need to be planned out well in advance. But man, that sure was some fortuitous timing.
In fact, there probably couldn’t be a better time for Concrete Software’s officially licensed PGA mobile game to drop. Now that it’s here, you undoubtedly want to know if it’ll let you live out your own Tiger fantasy on your phone or tablet, right"
And the answer is … definitely maybe. PGA Tour Golf Shootout allows you to play on some famous real world golf courses against other players, with game mechanics that are simple to learn yet still challenging to master. It’s also designed to give you that golf experience in bite-sized chunks, meaning a hole at a time instead of 18. If that sounds pretty similar to other golf games already out there, you’re not wrong. The strength of PGA Tour Golf Shootout is almost going to have to be those real life holes, as well as whether Concrete can work more events into the mix that correspond to the PGA Tour schedule ? not a crazy notion since the game has the FedEx Cup license too.
For now, though, let’s get out on the virtual links and see exactly how to start driving for show and putting for dough.
