The "Game Face" feature has been vastly improved with more detail and customization available for each body part, and after designing their own golfer, players can choose from 3000 items in the "Pro Shop" which allows players to purchase new clothing, clubs, balls, gloves, and other golf-related miscellanea.

The "Game Setup" in the options menu has been changed vastly, to allow the player to choose their swing style.

In each round, the player may also "Up the Ante" to gain extra experience and free modifiers if they win under specific circumstances; for example, the "Beat The Spread" option for Match Play games starts the opponent 4UP (see match play rules below), and the "Without a Net" option means that if the ball goes in the water or out of bounds, the player instantly loses.

Stroke Play allows up to four players to compete on a round of 9 or 18 holes on any chosen course with variable difficulty settings (tee color, pin location etc.).

The Skillzone was introduced in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003; it features three unique areas which have 15 targets in each.

The loser of the hole is eliminated from the match, and the next player in their team takes their place, while the winner keeps playing until he/she is defeated.

Although the player is allowed to make it more difficult for their opponent by striking the ball into an undesirable position such as a bunker, the rough, etc., the shot must travel at least half of the distance to the hole on each stroke.

Similarly, if a player hits the ball out of bounds, he or she will be penalized with a "Double Betrayal", and will lose two consecutive turns.

The Game Face feature has been greatly improved, and now the player must customize everything, from muscles on the arms and length of the legs to the smallest detail of wrinkles or the bridge of the nose.

The new system also allows players to create the way their golfer looks in terms of body part size, muscle, fat, feature positioning (face) and the overall height.

By playing in certain game types, the player earns experience points represented by gold markers on the left of the screen.
