Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 features the Ryder Cup tournament for the first time in the game franchise's history.

The game also features for the first time a 24 player online multiplayer mode allowing game players to compete in the Ryder Cup online, representing either the American or European side of the tournament.

[1] The Wii version introduces two new swing modes, one being Advance Plus, a mode in which the direction of the swing is tracked, and the other being Tour Pro, in which the camera changes to first person and the club is 1:1 controlled (the club is seen as if looking downwards at it).

For this mode, it is suggested that the player places a real golf ball on the ground in order to see a point of reference while playing.

Also featured is the "True View" feature, a step toward adding some realism to the game by removing some assists, namely the fly-by view prior to taking a swing, forcing the player to use camera positions near the in-game golfer and the map for the green.
