Pro Stroke Golf: World Tour 2007 features a collection of 18 courses and a group of licensed players that includes Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, Colin Montgomerie, Ben Curtis, and other professionals. Game modes include the standard match play, career, and multiplayer options, with the addition of special scorecard challenges for fast-paced action. One of the game's standout features is its course and tournament creator, offering players the chance to create their own links and events with an assortment of customization options.
The interface also differs from typical golf games. Instead of looking behind the golfer while initiating the swing, players are presented with a top-down view of the ball, as if they were staring at their feet on an actual course. Players can move their feet into different stances and adjust the club's head position to allow for chip, flop, and punch shots. Once the stance and club are set, players activate the shot using a horizontal swing meter with percentage markings to estimate power. In addition to pro players, the game includes television announcers Sam Torrence, Ian Baker Finch, and Allan Green. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
