EA Sports has announced that Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2004 will feature Bethpage Black (Long Island, New York), known to golfers as one of the toughest courses in the world.

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.
