Electronic Arts has announced details about the Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14: The Masters Historic Edition.

For the first time ever, users will experience Augusta National Golf Club as it was when the course played host to the very first Masters Tournament – what was known in 1934 as the Inaugural Augusta National Invitation Tournament. The development of this exclusive feature was researched in an effort to re-create the original 1931 design of golf course architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie and legendary golfer Bobby Jones.

Game play will place players in a 1934 environment, which takes into account everything from the clothing to the equipment. On the golf course, users will discover a new way to enjoy the layout, and as it would have played when the first Tournament field competed in the Club’s inaugural invitational. This includes everything from the golf course’s nines being reversed to its original green contours and speeds.

In addition to this unique feature, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14: The Masters Historic Edition will also include a walk through of the original 1934 layout of Augusta National; the present-day Augusta National Golf Club course; Augusta National’s Tournament Practice Facility; Augusta National’s Par 3 course; Green Jacket ceremony; and Augusta, the Song.

The Masters Historic Edition will be available for $69.99. Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 will launch this Spring for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
