Current roster and Career
I've always wondered why with PGA games you can't control a career of a actual player, I understand Golf is an individual sport, but it's literally the only game you can't control someone other than ...

I agree with this. Completely don't understand why there is no career RPG framework in place for this game.
There should be two options
- New Career - your created player
- Continue Career - existing PGA pro in the game
I remember making a post way back on the forums for TW about this too.
Career mode should be pretty deep where everything you do impacts performance or image on tour.
For example, not all players have the same accommodations, or some have to qualify for events, etc. Why wouldn't they have it based on your bank account. Travel and accommodations can impact attributes. So a rookie that decides to drive to the tournament and stay in a standard hotel will have a negative impact on attributes during the event. Not saying you can't play well, but maybe the landing zones for shots gets a little bigger on the weekend because you're fatigued. As you upgrade your accommodations, the landing zones stay consistent because you're not tired.
I also don't get why guys like Rory aren't even listed on leaderboards. The guy was the title athlete for the last game and now he's not there. Must have been a licensing issue. Hopefully those guys are inserted in a future patch.
- @Iceman11 I like your idea of accommodations impact. The better the accommodations, the more the accuracy. AEW Fight Forever has implemented something similar where mood is a factor in your matches and impacts fatigue and even workout. Going for sightseeing can improve the mood. It would be nice for EA to implement this where an improvement in accommodations reduces the RNG effect.
I also like your idea of continuing an existing golfer’s career.
In terms of roster, it would be awesome to add more players like Rory, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer, Annika Sorenstam, Nancy Lopez, Lee Trevino, and Chi Chi Rodriguez. Tiger Woods would be so awesome, but is unlikely because he is endorsing 2K23. Star Wars Battlefront 2, NBA Live 19 and FIFA 21 are examples of EA games where roster is expanded. Dua Lipa is an expanded character in FIFA 21.
