Attributes System
Attributes in "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11" are broken down into four groups: "power," "accuracy," "recovery," and "spin." "Power" measures the distance the ball can be hit, "accuracy" reflects an increased ability to hit a target, "recovery" affects the lie percentage when the ball is stuck in a hazard, and "spin" deals with the ability to affect the ball in mid-air.
Gaining Attributes
Attributes are gained by accumulating "experience points" (XP). Experience points are earned through good play: hitting the ball onto the fairway, sinking a putt for a birdie or eagle, or hitting a long drive. These points can also be earned through online play, making the cuts for tournaments, defeating opponents, or by buying Pro Shop items.
Losing Experience Points
Attributes, once gained, cannot be lost, but experience points can be lost through poor play. This includes hitting the ball into hazards or finishing with a poor score.
