EA Sports PGA Tour Delayed, Now Launching During Masters Week

EA Sports PGA Tour Delayed, Now Launching During Masters Week


EA Sports PGA Tour, EA’s first new professional golf game for consoles in years, has been delayed, but not by much. In a blog post, EA Sports said the game will now launch on Friday, April 7, with early access beginning April 4. Golf fans know that’s one of the biggest weeks of the year for pro golf, as The Masters at Augusta National takes place that week, with Round 1 beginning April 6.

“Creating an authentic golf experience has been our goal, and this small shift in release date allows us to add a few final touches to the game that we are very excited to deliver to all of you, including updates to some favorite courses to reflect 2023 designs,” EA said.

EA Sports PGA Tour includes 30+ courses at launch, including Augusta National. In fact, one part of what separates EA Sports PGA Tour from 2K’s PGA Tour 2K23 is that EA’s game is the only one to include all four of golf’s Majors, and the courses where they are played.

EA Sports PGA Tour was previously set for release on March 24 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It’s EA’s first golf game on console since 2015’s Rory McIlroy PGA Tour.

The golf world is going through a big change right now thanks in part to battle between the PGA Tour and the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour. The full roster of playable pros for EA Sports PGA Tour has not been published yet, but you can bet it won’t include any golfers who signed with LIV.
