In addition to Real Golfers, you can customize your own fantasy Golfer with the new Game Face mode.

Game Face delivers an unprecedented level of customization. Not only can you select body type and change your golfer's clothing, you can actually modify the shape of the 3D character model in real time. Drag the trackball and the nose gets bigger, the hips narrower, the feet longer.
Once you've created your unique golfer, save him to your Players' Card and use him in any Challenge Edition play mode.
