EA Sports PGA Tour has been officially announced.
We have not had a mainline entry into the PGA Tour franchise since 2015, when the game became Rory McIlroy PGA Tour.
That game received a Metacritic score of 60 from 26 critical reviews, while it also had a user score of 4.3 from 76 ratings.
Since that game’s release, we haven’t had another entry into the canon, despite there being a new release every single year from 1994 through to 2013. They took a break in 2014, to work on the Rory-fronted title.
Before then, the games were known as Tiger Woods PGA Tour, but the golfing legend is now working with 2K, as he has fronted PGA Tour 2K23, a game that we gave an 8/10 score to.
Here’s everything we know so far about EA Sports PGA Tour!
