Anyone know how I can open/edit the photobtn tga file in photoshop? Whenever I try, it just gives me an error that it cannot parse the file. Thanks.

usually when you create a player - or use a created player - and play a few holes or a course
then an image file is created by the game in the

C:\Users\username\Documents\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08\Career\Players\PlayerName
(or similar named location for XP)

and is named: photo.tga

this is based on what facial features, clothing etc etc are used in Gameface

from that image an icon button like you posted above is created By The Game in that same folder but is named
photobtn.tga

it is actually a .dds image file but the game names it with the .tga extension

IF - you want to use your real picture instead of the gameface picture for the photobtn/icon

open the Player folder where the photo and photobtn images are
copy/paste both in the folder, so you have a back up copy of each

Rename the photobtn.tga file to photobtn.dds

open in your image editor that can process .dds files
( You will need the dds plugin in photoshop to open dds )

note: the photo.btn template if the same as the logo template, seen on the courses page at left
- so use that if you want to start with

insert the image you want on the player button to the photobtn template

save as .dds

copy/paste it so you have a copy

rename it to photobtn.tga

it will show in the game as your player button/icon
