Tiger Woods Wii Tips

Although Tiger Woods PGA Tour on the Wii is notorious for being a hard game to accurately putt in, there are things that can be done to give you a better shot at making the putt. Perhaps most importantly, ignore the recommendation from your caddie when putting uphill. He does not take into account the fact that the land may slope upward or downward. Instead, he makes recommendations purely based on distance from the hole. For best results when facing an uphill putt, choose a slightly stronger shot for your putter than what was recommended. This will ensure that the putt is able to get to the hole. If you do not, you will likely come up short on your putt.

Although obstacles such as trees directly in front of you can be daunting, you can do a fade or draw shot to go around the tree and curve back into place. If you are right-handed, aim to the right of the obstacle to draw or to the left to fade. Twist the Wii remote so that the buttons face your left foot. Begin your swing and follow through, but keep your elbows locked so that they stay in the same position for the duration of the shot. The backswing should always begin at the same instant that you twist the Wii remote. This shot takes practice, but once it is mastered, it can take strokes off of your score.

Consider accuracy instead of power. Although you can hit every tee shot at 110 percent power, chances are that most of these shots will not fall exactly where you want them to. However, if you adjust your character's settings to have a shorter backswing, you can create the ability to have more accurate shots, even though they may not go as far. If you think about it, you are much better off hitting a tee shot 280 yards down the middle of the fairway than you are hitting a tee shot 300 yards into a sand trap. There may be less glory in shorter drives, but there is also much less risk.

Although a lot of loft under the ball can be a good thing when there is little or no wind, the same is not true when there is a lot of wind. The higher the loft is, the more likely the ball is to get caught up in the wind. Adjust the loft settings on your clubs when there is a lot of wind to increase the likelihood of being able to hit straighter shots.
