@Moonie54 This is kind of funny. The Lead Designer for this EA golf game was also working on TW12, TW13 and TW14. And he has left to go working as Lead Designer for the new 2K golf game.
So, who's programing upgrades for the PGA Tour Road to the Masters ?
EA downsized and fired some 670 employees this year, cancelled and stopped support for anything not making enough money... so nobody is working on this game anymore. The game is dead. EA CEO called that layoff and sunsetting games.
With EA downsized and the lead designer jumping ship to 2K, the updates are non-existent, and unfortunately the game has become PGA Tour Road to Abandonment.
If EA specified the game to be more Arcade Friendly instead of a Simmer’s paradise in the early stages, the game might have done well and gotten a chance for another iteration. The Notorious Update 3 was the beginning of the end. By the time EA fixed the cup physics in Update 11, most of the casuals including myself have left the game. After the Tournament scores glitch, even more gamers from all levels said No Mas.
If EA plans to make another iteration, the game needs to be an over the top Arcade game like SSX Tricky or NBA Street. Another simulation based iteration would go nowhere in terms of sales.
Are The non existent upgrades are the future of the game? I wonder if anyone else is working on the game or is it dead in the water?

Totally agree. This downsizing did not only affect games not making money. EA FC 25 is having issues with bugs, stability, multiple hot fixes and resetting rosters after each updates. NHL 25 is also having bugs such as overpowered goalies and resetting sliders. A release for EA PGA Tour 25 is highly unlikely since more resources would be needed to clean up bugs for EA FC 25 and NHL 25. The most likely next golf game would be PGA Tour 2K25.
Yep, It's done. it's too bad though but, it always comes down to money. It just amazing that all the energy committed to this game, the licensing, the programming, the marketing, the course realism etc... for a game that lasted a year? WOW! They must not have been able to compete with 2k, but still they are Two different animals. I will continue to pay both.
Who knows maybe someday it could make a comeback.
Infelizmente parece que não teremos um novo jogo EA Sports PGA Tour tão cedo.
E o pior tbm não teremos nenhuma atualização pra o PGA Tour atual.
Enquanto isso a 2k já dá indícios de que viram com novo jogo de golfe e pra 2025.
Pelo que parece, morto na água.
Infelizmente!
