EA SPORTS golf fans have always loved authentic courses and players, but they've also asked for more choice and customization in how and where they play. We're working on a new approach to deliver the best golf experience to our fans — we think you'll love it, and so we’re excited to share the first screenshot of our next generation golf game currently in development.

EA SPORTS and Tiger Woods have also made a mutual decision to end our partnership, which includes Tiger's named PGA TOUR golf game. We’ve always been big fans of Tiger and we wish him continued success in all his future endeavors.

Moving forward, we will continue to work with the PGA TOUR exclusively to create groundbreaking golfing titles and our partnership remains strong.

EA SPORTS is committed to creating a new golf experience that leverages the best technologies across EA to deliver a stunning and immersive game for mobile and next generation consoles.

We'll have more news soon.

Nothing really earth shattering there. Tiger lost allot of marketing power after his private life came to life. Honestly, surprised EA stuck with him that long as I doubt his name on the game brought ANY extra sales to the table and no telling what EA was paying for the rights to use his name etc... for the game.

Now if it can just have some realistic cameras to properly view the course. Also consider being able to swap the camera on the fly using the D-pad, IN FLIGHT (not IN REPLAY). See Hot Shots Golf for examples.

FLASHBACK: Take-Two files domains for 2K Golf Links

Alright, we might just have some new blood in the golf game market. The more the better.

Pastapadre tweeted that EA will save $15M a year by dropping Tiger. I find it hard to believe they were paying him that much, however.

My problem with the series has NEVER been visuals. Rather it just feels like a glorified game of darts where a player simply has to log the time to master how many "clicks" to move the shot left/right short/long adjusting for wind, height, etc... It just gets boring quickly.

WOW. That's a ridiculous amount of money they should have dropped him years ago and just called it PGA Tour X.

Personally, I'm not sure golf is a game "worthy" of a yearly release. There just isn't that much EA can do on a yearly basis that would excite me. Add new courses via DLC if you want to make money.

And so it begins.......months of ignoring customer complaints on the current game that desperately needs a second patch to fix the first.........and the promo on a new game begins............good luck

I believe we had this convo over 6 months ago and I told you the 2nd patch was NEVER coming.

I remember and I remember telling you that if they i.e. devs, managers, whoever etc left this game broken I would no longer be a customer.

Post-release support for all titles has been non-existant. Focus has shifted I guess.

If I had the willpower I would agree with you but golf games are my weakness. :fdown:

I don't get people publically "taking a stand" against buying something like they're in the majority :D

Spoiler: show

P.S. I'll see you on PGA Tour 15 on the PS4 SC

I, for one, will NOT EVEN CONSIDER purchasing a college football game again until someone makes one. I am SERIOUS about this!

SC needs to download Hot Shots Golf World Invitational so we can play some real golf with goofy characters.

So pretty and this is just the Vita version, unlike Tiger the courses have character. Also this game is actually NATIVE 1080P, not your usual PS3 downgraded 720 slop from TW. Still the most realistic golf game on the market.

I want it, but don't really want to pay $20 for it.

You have a VITA? If so only $10 a console as it is a cross buy and cross platform play online to boot.

I'm talking about the PS3 version.

So you already have the VITA version? If so then I doubt it would be worth it.

I'd buy Hot Shots on PS4.

The guy who got his Xbox One early listed the file sizes of the games (which got me thinking about EA and the upcoming PGA game). I would imagine these are some questions on the minds of the golf gaming community and something that just seems a touch odd.

Ghosts: 39GB
Skylanders: 15GB
Madden 25: 12GB
LocoCycle: 13GB
Zumba Fitness: 24GB
Dead Rising 3: 19GB
NBA 2K14: 43GB
NBA LIVE: 9GB
Forza 5: 31GB
FIFA 14: 8GB
Assassin's Creed IV: 20GB
Just Dance 2014: 22GB
Ryse: 34GB


What will EA use as an excuse for repackaging DLC year after year? Can't use the 360 DVD format as an excuse. Plenty of space for those yearly courses and they will save a ton of money with no Tiger license. I am sure they will blame licensing fees and next gen cost. Funny thing about the licensing in TW 14. Someone explain to me why the Fictional Courses are more expensive than licensed courses?

Greek Isles, Predator and Highlands are all $5.99 - All other licensed courses, excluding Colonial are $4.99.


Also the same pricing for the Xbox 360.
