The 2008 edition in the Tiger Woods PGA series introduces enhancements and improvements to the previous version without major graphical or gameplay changes. There are new courses (Xbox 360/PS3: 5 new, 16 in total - PS2: 6 new, 18 in total) and different licensed professional golf players to choose from (21 on the Xbox 360/PS3 - 23 on the PS2/Wii).
The gameplay has been improved with the addition of new features such as shot confidence, which keeps track of the player's performance on certain courses. This system raises the confidence after a good performance, leading to better performance on specific courses.
Players can also customize their characters by importing photos and adjusting clothing, hair, or eye color, among other options. The game features various modes, including multiplayer up to 4 players, where scores are posted online through GamerNet.
