You may recall that, a little while ago, EA Sports announced its return to golf games. More than that, the publisher would be bringing it back with the official PGA Tour licence. For fans of quiet clapping and divots, this was rather exciting news, but it seems like there will be a bit of a wait.
Initially planned to release in spring of 2022, EA has delayed the project with a short statement on social media:
"Hey golf fans, we wanted to let you know that we are shifting the launch date of EA SPORTS PGA TOUR," it reads. "We're excited to bring championship golf to you and will be providing more information on our launch plans in the coming months."
No new release window or date has been given as yet, but as it was meant to release early next year, we'd say the game won't make it out until the latter half of 2022. That's just speculation on our part, though — obviously we'll have to wait and see what EA says next on the matter.
The game is in development at EA Tiburon, the studio behind the Madden NFL series, and like most of the publisher's sports titles, will be created using the Frostbite engine. There's not much we know about the game itself yet, save for the fact it'll include LPGA tournaments, as well as the US Open and amateur events.

I love me my golf games, and I enjoyed a number of the Tiger Woods ones, but with EA’s micro transactions and pushing the always online thing, I’m thinking I’m done with this series.
@michaellivingjp i cant wait for this and the next one from 2k games as well..as for your comment about mt's i guess thats you out of every game EA brings out from now on and 2k,ubisoft...pretty much every game publisher...pga2k21 is riddled with the buggers but they are only cosmetic and dont affect the gameplay..
I actually ended up really liking the PGA 2K21 game we got for PS+ last month so I'm currently leaning towards Tiger Woods I think next year. Looking forward to a PS5 version!
As for this one I'm not feeling it since I saw it's made by the Madden team. That's definitely concerning.
Damn, the headline made it sound like it was getting cancelled. Don't scare me like that!
@Northern_munkey Well, to be fair, the last one I played was TW12, a 10 year old game, I know, that I picked up maybe 5 years ago, and I’m sure the series has evolved somewhat from there, but the fact that they locked half the courses behind MT, that really put me off. Call me old fashioned, but I don’t particularly like this path that major studios have taken. As a result, I tend to wait for the ‘complete edition’ to come out. That’s not a common practice with these golf games.
@michaellivingjp i'd recommend pga2k1 to anybody who wants a bloody good golf game..1000's of free courses and the game can be made as easy or as hard as you want..the mt's whilst in your face when you boot the game up are gone once you get to the main menu..like i said earlier they are only cosmetic and dont give anybody any unfair advantages..one word of advice is that the online societys are riddled with cheating scumbags so approach with caution..
I feel most people probably don't care about this but I just want to be able to play as actual pro golfers I was baffled that PGA 2k21 did not include this option. Love that game though, very relaxing
@Northern_munkey Well 2K then its MT plus gambling no thanks.
