The new game, releasing in Spring 2022, will be the exclusive
home of all four of golf’s major championships: The Masters
Tournament, PGA Championship, U.S. Open Championship and The Open
Championship. Golf fans can also compete at the biggest PGA TOUR
events, as they strive to build a legendary career.
EA SPORTS is partnering with the PGA of America to allow players
to virtually experience the PGA Championship, and only in EA SPORTS
PGA TOUR will players be able to immerse themselves in the fanfare
of the major championship. They will be able to hoist the historic
Wanamaker Trophy, revel in the Champion’s Ceremony, play as or
against past PGA Champions and compete on brilliant virtual
renderings of the 2021 PGA Championship host course at Kiawah
Island; and the 2022 host course at Southern Hills Country
Club.
“The PGA of America is committed to growing interest and
participation in golf, and we’re excited to partner with EA SPORTS
to support the goal of reaching golf’s next generation,” said PGA
President Jim Richerson. “The EA SPORTS team is working diligently
with the PGA to authentically represent the PGA Championship in the
game, and we’re thrilled that the game will shine a light on our
PGA Professionals, who are some of the most important ambassadors
for the sport.”
The PGA of America has a membership of nearly 28,000 PGA
Professionals across the country who work to help further the love
of the game through coaching, training and more. In recognition of
one of the PGA Championship’s most unique aspects, EA SPORTS PGA
TOUR will feature on the leaderboard members of the “Team of 20”
PGA Club Professionals that earn a spot in the PGA Championship
each year when the game launches.
The game will also include tutorials and coaching challenges,
designed in collaboration with the PGA Education and Player
Development Departments, that teach skills valuable not only
in-game, but also in the real world.
“It’s always nice to play against the best Major Championship
field ‘in the game.’ I’m happy that EA SPORTS will feature so many
of the traditions the PGA Championship is best known for, including
highlighting members of the ‘Team of 20’ PGA Professionals,” said
two-time PGA Champion Brooks Koepka.
