    The official EA SPORTS PGA TOUR website FAQ has disclosed the initial course and golfer offerings for the title when it launches on March 24.

    The game will feature 30 golf courses (28 real, two fantasy) and nine golfers. The course offerings are highlighted by Augusta National, St. Andrews, TPC Sawgrass, and Pebble Beach, among others. The two fantasy courses are Wetlands and Lighthouse Pointe, both of which appeared in 2015's Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR, EA's last console golf offering.

    The golfer list appears thin, however the FAQ does mention to 'check back through the spring for additional content releases,' which implies more golfers and/or courses may be added post-launch. (The 2023 majors courses will arrive after launch and Game Informer reports that EA also aims to add the traditional three-click swing system in a title update.)

    EA SPORTS PGA TOUR has released the official gameplay trailer for the title featuring the new Pure Strike system and 20 available shot types.

    Per EA: Pure Strike gives you all the tools you need to realistically attack every hole on every course the same way the pros do. Featuring ShotLink® powered by CDW and data from TrackMan, Pure Strike helps ensure that each professional golfer’s unique swing and attributes will be accurately reflected in the game. Pure Strike incorporates the three parts of every golf shot: fluid swing mechanics that are highly accurate to a player’s backswing length and speed of follow through, innovative ball behavior allowing every bounce and roll to behave more accurately across a variety of terrain and course conditions, and lifelike course dynamics that play true to their real life course counterparts. ...

    There are 20 available shot types in the game and each one is intended to help you succeed when you face a specific, on-course challenge. Each shot type has its own unique profile producing shots with varying ball speeds, launch angles, spin rates, and shot dispersion that you would expect in real life. Each shot type profile is unique per club and per class of golfer trajectory (low, medium, and high), which result in over 1300 unique profiles available in EA SPORTS PGA TOUR.

    At launch, the game will feature 30 courses (2023 majors courses coming after launch), the Players Championship and FedExCup Playoffs, and the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and The Amundi Evian Championship (notably 'several' selectable female athletes and female create-a-golfer options), among other features.

    The game will launch on March 24, 2023 with EA Play and EA Play Pro members getting access on March 21.

    The game can be pre-ordered on Amazon through our affiliate link.

    In a story originally by pastapadre.com, EA SPORTS will be removing Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR from digital storefronts and EA Access on May 22. His belief is that the game is being removed three years following release due to licensing issues. (UPDATE: As of 5/21, the game is no longer available to purchase via PSN or XBL.)

    Considered by many to be one of the best in the series, the final version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf finished with a Metacritic score in the mid-70s, while Rory McIlroy PGA Tour scored a 60. After exceeding internal sales expectations, Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR became an 'evergreen' title and featured several game updates that added new courses.
