Putt Preview
Read the slope of the green, factor in the necessary break and press RB to see the exact line it will take towards the cup. If the line is going straight in the cup, you stand a good chance of draining the putt. If it's offline, adjust your aiming marker accordingly you only can use the Putt Preview once each time you putt. Putt Preview is not available when playing with difficulty set to Pro Tour.

Confidence
Now your ability to hit a perfect shot depends not only how you swing the club, but on how you've swung it in the past. The Confidence Meter uses factors from previous rounds including shot type, hole and more to determine your confidence heading into each shot. The amount of risk involved in your shot also affects your confidence the riskier the shot, the less confidence you will have.Your confidence on the course affects your targeting circlethe size of the circle is your margin of error for each shot you take, so the bigger the circle the greater possibility of error. Playing well decreases the size of the targeting circle and improves your ability to hit the ball more precisely. Playing poorly lowers your confidence, increasing the size of your targeting circle.Confidence follows you everywhere and does not reset round-to-round.

Game Modes
PGA Tour Season - Start as a newcomer struggling to break 100 and work your way up the ranks against an
updated roster of golfers in your quest to become the FedExCup Champion. Beat the odds as you go through up to five years of PGA Tour events and play at a big list of courses on your journey to the top of the golf world. If you choose to create your own character or use Rookie Tiger instead of an existing pro, you begin as a hack golfer and progress from there. In order to achieve new levels and advance your career, you must meet certain objectives. Your career progression is conveyed in the following ways money leaderboards, FedExCup points leaderboards and calendar events. To qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs, you must accumulate points with high finishes during the 16 event regular season majors and larger tournaments award more points than regular tournaments. The top 30 golfers earn a spot in the FedExCup playoffs, while the season ends for everyone else. After each of the four playoff tournaments, the 30 golfers are awarded points based on how they finished. The golfer with the most points at the end of the playoffs is crowned FedExCup Champion.

Tiger Challenge - Go head to head against the top golfers in the world for a chance to prove yourself against the
game's best player, Tiger Woods. Every golfer you beat along the way earns you money and small skill increases. Your progression through the Tiger Challenge mode is represented by a HexGrid and each node of the HexGrid represents a challenge against a new PGA tour golfer. You can decide which challenge to take on by moving the cursor from one node to another. The details of each challenge and unlockable reward are displayed when the node is highlighted. Tiger Challenge consists of non match challenges skins, One-ball, course-specific scenarios and 9-hole games and a match challenge against a PGA tour golfer. You must beat every PGA tour golfer, win all challenges and complete all hexagons on the HexGrid to earn the right to face Tiger Woods.

Traditional Game Modes- You may have seen some of these from previous Tiger Woods games but there is a new addition

• Stroke Play - The most basic round of golf, every stroke counts and the player with the lowest total at the end of the round wins.

• Match Play - Go head to head with your opponent on every hole in Match Play. The player who wins the most holes wins.

• Skins - Every hole has a monetary value, and the player with the lowest scoreon the hole takes the cash. In the event of a tie, the money carries over to the next hole, sweetening the pot.

• Bango Bongo Bingo - A match play event where each part of the title represents a point earned on a per-hole basis Bingo  first on the green; Bango closest to the pin; Bongo best score.

• Best Ball Played with two player teams, both players on each team play their own ball throughout the round and on each hole the low score of the group serves as the team score. The total score is then added up at the end of the round to determine the winner.

• Four-Ball In this two on two match up, every golfer plays their own ball. The team wins a hole when either member posts the lowest score.

• Greensome In this two on two team game, you and your team-mate choose your team's best drive then alternate shots from that point on for the rest of each hole.
  

• Bloodsome In this two on two team game, the opposing team chooses the tee shot your team has to play from, then you and your team mate alternate shots for the rest of the hole. Solid, playable tee shots are key to success.
