The game is one of EA Sports' first online efforts.

It will offered to consumers initially at no cost during a testing phase. But later on the players would require to a subscription fee to play.

"We chose to partner with Tiger in 1997 because we saw him as the world"s best, most talented and exciting golfer. We struck that partnership with the assumption that he would remain near or at the top of his sport for years to come," the president wrote.
