How to Transfer Profiles for Tiger Woods on the Wii

Transferring a Tiger Woods Golf profile from one Wii game console to another can be easily done, but probably not for the purposes that some might hope for: Many gamers wish to play against their friends, using the profile they have spent time building; unfortunately, the Wii SD card is the only way to transfer profiles, and the Wii will only recognize game data from an SD card if the internal memory does not already have that game information. This means that you can transfer a Tiger Woods profile to another Wii, but only if it does not have prior Tiger Woods data saved on the console.

Things You'll Need

Nintendo Wii gaming console
Nintendo Wii remote
SD card
Tiger Woods Golf for Wii (2009 or 2010)

Instructions

- 1
  Insert your SD card into the SD card slot located on the front of the Nintendo Wii console. Your Tiger Woods Golf game does not need to be in the console for the transfer to occur. Power on your Nintendo Wii and allow the main menu screen to load.
  
  Once the screen has loaded, you will notice a small circle on the bottom left of the screen. Inside this circle, the "Wii" symbol should appear. This is your Wii "Settings" menu. Click on the "Wii settings" button.

  Select the "Data management" icon and view all saved game information stored on your Wii gaming console. Each file will be labeled as a "game progress save," "profile," "setting," or another type of gaming file. Point your Wii remote toward the screen and click on the Tiger Woods profile that you wish to transfer to the SD card. Allow a few moments for the transfer to occur.
  
  If you wish to transfer additional files, such as game progress or unlocked courses, you can copy them at the same time. If you are unsure which files contain the information you are looking to transfer, it is safe to transfer all Tiger Woods Golf files to your SD card.

  Remove your SD card from the Wii console and place it in a protective case. Make sure that you take a copy of your Tiger Woods Golf disc with you. No information is stored on the disc itself, but the saved files cannot be played without the disc inserted into a Wii console.

  Insert your SD card into the Wii to which you wish to transfer your profile. Access the "Wii settings" menu again, but select "Settings" this time, instead of "Data management." From the second settings menu, you will see the option to select the "SD card." Click on the SD card to access your saved information. Select the the files that you wish to transfer to the Wii console, then allow a few moments for the transfer to occur. Insert your Tiger Woods Golf game disc, and your profile will appear.
