EA Sports is getting back into the swing, with PGA Tour

With 2K have big success with their PGA Tour 2K21, even signing Tiger Woods to be a consultant on the series, there was no doubt that other studios wouldn’t want a slice of the golfing action.

Case in point, today EA announced EA Sports PGA Tour, an all new entry in the golfing series, that while it drops the athlete name from the game, still seems to have a hook or two, to go putts over.

EA Sports PGA Tour, a new next-gen golf video game, currently in development. In EA Sports PGA Tour, golf fans will be able to build their virtual career and experience the sights, sounds, and thrills of the PGA Tour including ‘The Players Championship’, FedEx Cup Playoffs and more unforgettable events. The game will also feature many of the world’s most famous courses, where fans will have the option to play against and as some of the biggest names in professional golf.

“EA SPORTS and the PGA TOUR have created some of the most memorable golf video game experiences together, and we couldn’t be more excited to expand our sports portfolio with a new golf title on next-gen hardware,” said Cam Weber, EVP & GM, EA SPORTS. “Our team of passionate golf fans is meticulously recreating the world’s top courses such as Pebble Beach, and we can’t wait to give fans the opportunity to compete on some of the most iconic PGA TOUR courses and win the FedExCup.”

“We’ve partnered with EA SPORTS to bring immersive golf video game experiences to fans of all ages for years,” said Len Brown, PGA TOUR Chief Legal Officer and Executive Vice President Licensing and Merchandising. “We are thrilled to continue working with EA SPORTS on its golf franchise to authentically represent the PGA TOUR for the next generation. The newest game will give golf fans another way to experience their favorite sport, or to discover their passion for it.”

Right now, the only two details we really know is that one, the game is being made on Frostbite and two, it is being done for next gen platforms. This does not mean that older hardware, like Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or Switch will be excluded, with the Switch now having Frostbite compatibility, just that they are not the focus.

A release date and details are expected to be revealed over the coming months though.
