TBH this is the first one that I have owned. I played earlier titles at friends houses and what not but not enough to recognize differences. It's a lot of fun I can say that much. The online content is really cool too. For instance you can set the weather to live weather and if it's raining at the course IRL it's raining in the game. Also you can play live tourneys with the tour, so while the pros are playing you can can play and it keeps track of everything. If you enjoyed 07 I am sure you would like this new one too.
