Here is a cover art I found from a forum. This is going to be awesome!?  It will have the following features Masters Moments: Play through memorable, historic moments as players try to measure up against some of the sport’s greatest legends. Tiger at the Masters: Relive each of Tiger’s four wins at the Masters by attempting to equal or beat his scores in each round of the Tournament. The Caddie Experience: Behind every great golfer is a trusted and reliable caddie. Players will have a caddie by their side on every swing, providing strategic advice, from shot selection to reading greens, helping them become a more successful golfer. The Closest Thing to Being There: For the first time ever, EA SPORTS™utilized a new state-of-the art laser scanning technology at Augusta National Golf Club to laser scan every hole featured in the game. This will provide players with the most authentic digital representation of the Tournament and Par 3 courses. Every tree, every azalea and every undulation in every green was recreated down to the smallest detail. Broadcast Presentation: Feel the emotion of every swing as called by the all-new commentary team of Jim Nantz and David Feherty, who headline a completely revamped TV broadcast presentation package. Career Mode: The all-new career mode will closely mirror the journey of an amateur golfer’s rise through the ranks and chase the title of Masters champion. New Players: Over 20 professional golfers to choose from, including Zach Johnson (2007 Masters Champion) and Bubba Watson (2010 Ryder Cup – Team USA). Championship Courses: Take on the best of the best on sixteen of the world’s most celebrated courses, including Augusta National Golf Club, Royal Melbourne Golf Club (Australia), Atlanta Athletic Club, TPC San Antonio, St Andrews Links and Pebble Beach Golf Links.

But its still exciting. But Augusta! With their approach to commercialism I didn't think that was ever a chance. Definitely picking this one up. But Wii or Xbox Kinect?

The problem with the Wii is the sucky graphics. Maybe I'll have to buy a PS3 with their 'Move' motion system just for this game...

some key Feature's in TW12! (found this info on the TW Forum)
4 unique online game modes:
Amateur- unlimited use of boost,spin and everything, much like the tiger woods '10 amateur mode
Pro- much like the tiger '11 amateur mode, focus is used for boost,spin, putt preview, random landing
Tour Pro- tour pro of tiger '11, no putt preview, focus used for random landing which is quite large. no boost or spin
Tournament- the "true golfing experience", no focus used for anything, random landing is as-is, true aim, no boost or spin, no putt preview, no putting meter.
Putting Circle:
When putting, the caddy gives you a random circle, the correct line up for the putt is somewhere within that circle. the circle gets bigger for every difficulty you go up. In tournament mode you have no circle and read the green all by yourself.
Choke Down on the Club:
Using the right analog stick while lining up the shot, you can push it down and you can actually change the grip on the club, the more you choke down, the more yards it takes off the shot.
Lie Indicator
before you line up your shot, you can hit a button and it zooms down to the ball, tells you the % of the lie and also the degrees it is above or below your feet so you can see how the ball will kick.
In Depth on the Caddy
Looks like the caddy gives you an aggressive route and a safer route to the center of the green. you can choose one of those and hit the shot as he is telling you to, or you can disable the caddy and aim the shot and hit it how you always have in the past. all on your own. Caddies also will start off not being very good, and the more you play certain courses, the better your caddy's "course mastery" will be for that course and will give better advice. The caddy takes wind, elevation, lie, everything into consideration for the shot, so if you hit exactly how the caddy says, the percentage and everything, your shot will be successful. They also showed for a slight second, the caddy book, but i didn't see what all was in there. looked like stats and some other stuff.
Augusta
This course looks gorgeous, even when its just on a stream! the guys at Augusta are very strict in how they want the course to look. They want it to look EXACT! This is making the course look fantastic. Bright, Vibrant, and GORGEOUS! Azalea's look phenomenal. Amen Corner looks spectacular! The course plays just like it would in person, very fast greens. The scorecard at the end of the round, is the authentic Masters scorecard as in real life which looks pretty cool. When playing the course, where it comes up and says the hole number and yardages in the bottom left corner, it says the Hole Name as well. All the holes are named after flowers and it shows them. It also shows everything like you would see in the Masters Tournament. Where it says the hole number, it is green with the masters logo instead of the standard HUD that it normally has. Mike D mentioned on hole 12, par 3, if you hit in front of the green, the false front will make your ball roll all the way back down into the water. This course is going to be SICK!
DLC's in PGA Season
As the title says, when you download the DLC courses, you will now be able to use them in the pga season offline!
Flag Position Names
Something else i noticed was when he was going through the options, for the flag positions, it didn't say easy, medium, hard, and expert...it said Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The course was on Augusta but it may be like that for all of them. Something little but kind of neat.
here's some more, some are double up though, so please excuse me.
•Augusta National
•Caddie
•Work your way up the ladder from the EA tour, Amateur Tour, Nationwide Tour, Q-School, and the PGA Tour. If you're good enough you can even skip the Nationwide Tour. Become the Masters Champion and World #1!
•The Presidents Cup at Melbourne is included.
•Sponsorships
•Mid-round saves! (So Freakn awesome)
•DLC courses will be folded into your career events. (Finally)
•Import XP from Tiger 11
Some not listed in the article
•Tuned Club Distances
•New difficultly levels = Amateur (like Tiger 10 with no focus), Pro, TOUR Pro, and Tournament Difficulty
•Sony Move Improvements
•New Gameplay Mechanics
also I've read that the Demo will be out March 15th.
