## Rivals Mode

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06's rivals mode is one of the most expansive yet. Its story focuses on the player going back through golfing history and working their way forward to challenge Tiger Woods.

Each era of time changes the appearance and soundtrack of the club house featured in the Rivals mode menu. Each clubhouse has a options menu in the form of a Musical playback device, a message device in the form of an electronic communications device, a trophy wall and a pro shop, selling relevant period items.

### Current Era I[1]

The Rivals Mode begins in the Current Era where the player is tasked with completing a Long Drive, Chipping and Putting challenge.

### Turn of the Century

The clubhouse style changes to the Victorian era and a crackling gramophone plays in the background. This begin the main bulk of the quest where the player has to rival various opponents in the style of previous Tiger Challenge/Legends Tour modes.

## EA Game Face

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06's EA Game Face features much the same character creation options as 2005. However this release features a segregation of Attributes (My Skills) from the Pro Shop. Instead of using cash money to upgrade attributes, the player collects skill points which they can use to upgrade their Skills. Equipment bonuses as was included in the previous games can also be applied here. This results in a significantly lower amount of cash prizes compared to previous titles.

## Pro Shop

The pro shop features range of equipment including new period apparel as appropriate to the Rivals Mode. However, there is considerable lack of vintage apparel for men or women golfers in the game.
