EA has announced a major update to EA SPORTS PGA TOUR as the game celebrates a year since release. The game has seen many updates since its launch as it is now entering Season 11, and this will be the largest content update to date. The update is available today and along with new content, will see several gameplay improvements and bug fixes. With The Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia just about a week away, the update is headlined by the inclusion of Augusta National Par 3. The traditional Par 3 Contest that is held annually on the eve of the tournament is now playable in EA SPORTS PGA TOUR.
The Biggest Name
EA SPORTS PGA TOUR will be adding a 23rd playable professional golfer and it’s a big name. Jack Nicklaus is being added to the roster and no additional purchase is required. “The Golden Bear” is known for powerful drives, precision iron play and excellent putting skills. Nicklaus nabbed 18 major championship wins and won The Masters a record six times. Nicklaus will also have his own set of golf clubs, four outfits and a unique swing animation. He’s playable in any format that supports playing with pro golfers.
Review: EA SPORTS PGA TOUR
While it still needs more polish, EA SPORTS PGA TOUR is fun to play and EA shouldn’t give up on the franchise.
2024 Major Courses
On top of Augusta National Par 3, there will be three new PGA Major Courses added to the game that are pulled from 2024. The first is Valhalla Golf Course in Louisville, Kentucky as it hosts the 2024 PGA Championship. Career Mode will reflect this now as it will rotate between this, Oak Hill and Southern Hills every season. Pinehurst No. 2 is also being added as it hosts the 2024 U.S. Open as it will also rotate every season with this, the Los Angeles Country Club and The Country Club. The final addition is Royal Troon, which is famous for its “Postage Stamp” eighth hole. The Open Championship will now rotate with this, Royal Liverpool and St Andrews.
