The delayed release of PGA Tour is still some months away, but EA has now dropped their first teaser trailer for the game.
Find out all the latest EA PGA Tour news below, along with everything you need to know about the new title.
Latest - Official Teaser
Finally some news on the upcoming EA Sports PGA Tour game!
After seemingly months of radio silence, EA has dropped the official teaser trailer for their new title, in the middle of launch week for PGA Tour 2K23!
The Majors are shown off in the trailer, and this is a less-than-subtle brag that EA has secured golf's most coveted prizes for its game.
With world-famous courses available in the game, the competition really is fierce in the golf-gaming space.
Release Date
The release of EA's upcoming golf title was due to be in Spring 2022 but was been delayed indefinitely.
The official Twitter page read:
"Hey golf fans, we wanted to let you know that we are shifting the launch date of EA Sports PGA Tour,"
"We're excited to bring championship golf to you and will be providing more information on our launch plans in the coming months."
An official date is yet to be announced, but we do know that fans will have to wait until Spring 2023 to get in the game.
Cover Star
We may have already seen the cover for EA Sports PGA Tour - with the Masters Tournament featuring.

Whether a current or legendary golfer will also appear remains to be confirmed, although Jordan Spieth features prominently in the first official teaser.
One person we know it won't be is Tiger Woods who has secured an exclusive deal with 2K Sports.
Sticking with the Ryder Cup theme, we could see legends like Jack Nicklaus or Seve Ballesteros, with EA often keen on legendary editions for its sports titles.

Out of current pros, Rory McIlory will be the favourite - picking up from where he left off in 2015.
Dustin Johnson is the current world number 1, with Jon Rahm and PGA Tour 2K21 cover star Justin Thomas other contenders.
Trailer
We've had the announcement, and now a teaser, so fingers crossed a full trailer is on the way soon.
We will update this page as soon as we get a sniff of one, with perhaps an early peak coming any time from May.

Four Majors confirmed to feature
EA has announced that EA Sports PGA Tour for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will have the exclusive rights to the four Major Championships: the Masters Tournament, PGA Championship, U.S. Open Championship, and The Open Championship.
![ea sports pga tour](https://gdm-assets.b-cdn.net/images/ncavvykf/realsport-production/f6b7bb7d55814e53c19e3b48a590521602855abd-1548x866.png?w=1548&h=866&auto=format)
This announcement includes the 2021 and 2022 PGA Championship, which will be held at Kiawah Island Golf Resort and Southern Hills Country Club respectively.
That’s part of a partnership with PGA of America to virtually recreate the PGA Championship, letting you can play to with the historic Wanamaker Trophy and take in Champion’s Ceremony, and play as and against past PGA Champions.
FedEx Cup newest major championship
EA Sports PGA Tour is dropping more and more reveals as we near the Spring of 2022. The most recent drop is the addition of the FedEx Cup championship coming to the game.

Women's golf added to EA Sports PGA Tour
Electronic Arts Inc. and the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) has announced plans to bring the LPGA Tour to EA Sports PGA Tour.
![ea sports pga tour women lpga](https://gdm-assets.b-cdn.net/images/ncavvykf/realsport-production/77f2ee922c60d0844338a7f592fbd02734ae0b64-2139x1179.jpg?rect=0,1,2139,1178&w=1600&h=881&auto=format)
The LPGA Tour will only be available on Next-Gen consoles and will 'feature a wide breadth of women’s golfing representation'.
You will be able to play as several female athletes as well as create a female golfer of your own in the newly overhauled Create-A-Player feature.
The Amundi Evian Championship, one of its five major championships will also be added to the game.
Enjoy the amateur scene
EA has revealed plans to authentically represent the U.S. Open Championship experience in EA Sports PGA Tour.
![pga tour ea sports golf](https://gdm-assets.b-cdn.net/images/ncavvykf/realsport-production/fe5ec6b4ed9a48de76c1975545fb3636dd3c176c-2139x1179.jpg?rect=0,1,2139,1178&w=1600&h=881&auto=format)
This is an event that brings together the world’s finest pros with the best amateurs on the scene, as they test their skills and compete for the prestige that winning the event brings.
The U.S. Open is America’s championship – the toughest major in golf, played on America’s greatest courses including Torrey Pines, host of the 2021 U.S. Open Championship and The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, host of the 2022 U.S. Open.
Platforms
EA announced EA Sports PGA Tour as a "new next-gen golf video game, currently in development".
So, this pretty much confirms the game for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and it would be very surprising for the title to not arrive on PS4 and Xbox One.
It remains to be seen whether the title will arrive on PC, Nintendo Switch and Stadia.
FAQs confirm Career Mode
Will EA Sports PGA Tour have a Career Mode? Yes, it will!
In the FAQ section on the EA Sports PGA Tour page, the response is emphatic.
"Golf fans can compete at other big events such as THE PLAYERS Championship and FedExCup Playoffs, as they strive to build a legendary career."
We can't wait to go up against the best and rub shoulders with the golfing elite.
