Promising to give virtual golfers "an authentic interactive swing experience," Sony today announced that the next Tiger Woods game (PGA Tour 11) will support the PlayStation 3 motion controller.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 will also simulate the prestigious Ryder Cup in an online mode, where players can choose either the U.S. or European squad and participate in the various competition formats – foursomes where players hit alternate shots, fourballs and singles which traditionally bring the biennial event to a close with players going head to head. Up to 24 players will be able to compete head-to-head as members of team.

The American team will be headed by Tiger (natch) and the Euro team will be run by great golfer Rory McIlroy, who had this to say in EA's press release:

“This is a huge honor for me to be the on the cover with Tiger Woods as I grew up idolizing Tiger... The Ryder Cup has always been my favorite sporting event and the tournament is being played at The Celtic Manor Resort in Wales in 2010. Also, I’m hopeful to have an opportunity to represent the European team later in the year – it’s all very special.”

The game will be available on June 8 on the Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and iPhone platforms. I, for one, am buying it for the PS3; golfing might be the killer app of all motion control schemes.
