Reception
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 received "generally favorable" reviews on all platforms except the Xbox 360 version, which received "mixed or average" reviews according to Metacritic. GamePro's November 2005 issue noted the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox versions had a large amount of content including the '06 PGA Tour season, daily Calendar events, Skills Golf, and Rival Mode, while criticizing the addition of a golf Gamebreaker and the lack of Xbox custom soundtrack support. Two issues later, GamePro gave the Xbox version 3.5 out of 5, stating that even the best golf sim franchise needs change. Joe Rybicki of Electronic Gaming Monthly criticized the putting interface, noting that caddy tips were removed and the analog swing interface was applied to putting. In Japan, Famitsu scored the PlayStation 2 version with one eight and three sevens, and Famitsu X360 gave the Xbox 360 version two eights and two sevens. The PlayStation 2 version was released in Japan on December 22, 2005, followed by the PSP version on February 16, 2006, and the Xbox 360 version a week later.
