If you are deciding between Tiger Woods 2004 or Links 2004, I will tell you the differences.
GAMEPLAY:
Both games are set up very nicely. Both have the great analog swing. The only problem with Tiger Woods is once you have your player stats maxed out it becomes unrealistic because your drives go 370 yards consistently, which makes the game too easy. Links, it takes awhile to max your stats, and once you do its still realistic, meaning you'll need a good drive and good second shot to make it on the Green in 2 on a par 5. As far as putting, Links has Tiger beat by a huge margain. On Links you get a nice chart layout and the analog putting feels so real. On Tiger it gives you a caddy tip and the grid really stinks. To spin the ball, Tiger still has the arcade feel where you spin the ball after its hit. On Links you choose the spin before you hit it, just like in real life.
ADVANTAGE: LINKS 2004
COURSES/GOLFERS/ITEMS(UNLOCKABLES):
Tiger Woods has a ton more courses, compared to only 9 on Links. Tiger also has a lot more PGA Golfers on the game, like Tiger, Vijay, Daly, Furyk, and more compared to Links 3 golfers. Tiger Woods has THE BEST create a golfer ever!!!! Links you choose a player model and change his clothes. In Tiger you can create your player (identical to you!) and have all kinds of unlockables to fit to him including clubs, shoes, gloves, hats, etc. There is just so much.
ADVANTAGE: TIGER WOODS by far!!
CAREER MODE:
In Links you play in a series of Tournaments to earn cash to buy attributes. In Tiger you can play through an entire "almost real" PGA Tour season with the real events, like at Kapalua (the Merceds Championship) starting in January in Hawaii. Also included are the 4 majors, just named something different. This gives Tiger a major advantage as far as replay value.
ADVANTAGE: TIGER
OVERALL:
Tiger Woods has a ton more options, courses, golfers, unlockables. The gameplay is a little more unrealistic (not like Mario Golf or Hot Shots Golf though) and the putting is not as good as Links. The create a player and career mode is awesome.
Links has the better gameplay but lacks the options and unlockables cool stuff found in Tiger. The gameplay is so much more realistic than Tigers though, and the graphics are better.
If you are looking for a game with better gameplay and don't care about the options, get Links. If you are someone who loves the all the good unlockables and true PGA Tour season play, get Tiger.

I must first say that the create-a-player is by far the best one I've ever seen on any video game. So if you're like me, that's a huge selling point. You can customize everything on the guy, down to their socks and bling-bling earrings.Gameplay is really quite easy to learn and quite easy to be good at. This may be a problem for some of the purists/realists, but for people who just want to pick up the game, play and be good, it works well. Unlike real golf, the gameplay isn't frustrating!
But what is agonizingly frustrating is the putting. You get virtually no idea of what way the green is going. All you have to go by is the Caddy's Advice, who tells you to aim 2 feet left and 3 feet long. How far is a foot? I have no idea! It's usually just pure luck if you knock down a put of any distance.
I think the old "Golf" game on Nintendo had a better putting gameplay (and that was 15 years ago).
If you can get past the putting, this game is great fun. The career mode seems quite lengthy and will probably keep me entertained for hours upon hours. I'd recommend this game for my money.

Honest reviews on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 - Xbox
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 has its greats and it has its downers. The best thing about Tiger Woods is the create a golfer mode. It is the best out of every game where you can create a player. You can go from choosing your complexion to changing your eye set. The great create a golfer mode is why people love this game.As for the modes, you can play a PGA Tour season, a World Tour where you face a bunch of real and fake golfers and get cash if you beat them. You can also play scenerios, where maybe you have to make a very long putt to get a better putter.
As for the gameplay, your left thumbstick is like the backswing and downswing of your club. If you swing the stick staright up and down, you will hit it straight. If you move the stick accidentally in other directions, you will hit it into the rough.
But, just like real golf, the putting is impossible. You dont take a full swing. The caddy advice says to aim it maybe 3 inches left but it is very frustrating.
Overall, Tiger Woods is a good game. With extras like getting sponsors like Nike and Adidas, you could select any club and get money. Tiger Woods 2005 will probably be better, so try that one out before anything.
