The licence for official PGA Tour golf video games was held by EA for a long time, but the agreement has now reached its end. Instead, the organisation has partnered with HB Studios to bring licensed courses to The Golf Club 2019.
The game will feature a career mode that takes players through Q-School, the Web.com tour, and then the PGA Tour itself. Some of the licensed courses confirmed so far include TPC Summerlin, TPC Scottsdale, TPC Sawgrass, TPC Southwind, TPC Deere Run, and TPC Boston. It's not clear whether licensed golfers will also be included in the game, but there is mention of sponsorships.
The Golf Club 2019 is due out later this year. Will you be playing? Has news of the PGA Tour licence piqued your interest? Try not to go out of bounds in the comments below.

I liked the previous edition of The Golf Club so I'm in. They've got a long way to go in terms of overall polish, though.
Hmm. Perked up my interest in it slightly. They had a lot to fix with the 2nd one before announcing this 2019 version. Won't be buying 2019 straight away.
I haven't played the Golf Club games, but I am glad the PGA Tour license moved on since EA wasn't doing anything with it. I'll pick this up.
I played their first two games I’m excited about this, it looks great. The last EA golf game was not very good😢!
@zeppray Agreed, Rory Mcilroy's PGA Tour was pretty lackluster to me. I haven't played either of the Golf Club games but I've heard mixed things about them. Would you say they're worth checking out for someone who tends to enjoy golf games such as Mario Golf and Hot Shots Golf? I also used to have Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 on the Wii and loved that due to the Wii motion plus controls, but I haven't played much outside of that.
I’ve put so many hours in the first two games. The Golf Club 2 might be my favorite golf game ever and I’ve played my fair share of golf games
@wiggleronacid Hmm, The Golf Club is pretty simulation in my opinion.
Surprising to see EA give up one of their sports license. I held off of the previous two Golf Club games, so I'll give this a shot.
@get2sammyb It definitely seems like it, which I'm fine with. I just heard some mediocre things about the controls with this title. I'll probably give one of the older entries a go if I can find it on sale!
