Critic Reviews

60	Modojo Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 has limitations, and something should've been done with the putting game outside of selecting a manual option. Aside from that, it's a decent golf offering for PSP owners, especially those seeking a challenge.
52	IGN Play Tiger Woods 08 and skip this year's tour. It's a much more polished game with a lot more features.
50	Pocket Gamer UK Shorn of many of last year's features and lumbered with an awkward control method, Tiger Woods 09 singularly fails to improve on its predecessor and in many respects is a definite regression.
50	GameZone While Tiger 09 is still a mostly solid golf experience (the best on the PSP) I cannot recommend this title over previous Tiger games. This game is a significant step back in gameplay that lacks some of the most vital elements.
