Tiger Woods challenges gamers to take on Bethpage Black, one of the most difficult public golf courses in existence, in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2004.

Bethpage State Park's Black Course is the latest top-rated course to be included in the newest version of Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2004, due out in September from EA SPORTS. Bethpage Black in Long Island, New York, hosted the first U.S. Open golf tournament that was played on a truly public site in 2002, which was won by Woods, and will host the tournament again in 2009.

Bethpage Black is one of five 18-hole courses at Bethpage State Park, the biggest public golf facility in the world. The others are the Red, the Blue, the Green, and the Yellow. But clearly, the Black is the most challenging. The first tee features a warning sign: "The Black Course is an extremely difficult course which we recommend only for highly skilled golfers.'' Designed by A. W Tillinghast in 1936, it is consistently ranked among the best courses in America, and now will be available to play in the most popular golf videogame on the market. In order to replicate the exact course in the videogame, Electronic Arts had the entire course mapped utilizing GPS technology to ensure every sand trap, every tree, and each green could be recreated in the game with the highest level of precision.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2004 is the most comprehensive and most competitive golf game available. This year an incredibly detailed new "create a golfer" gives you the chance to create and build your own golfer to take on the TOUR and dominate the world.
