Hey PGA Fans!

The Team continues to work on improving your PGA Tour experience, and delivering amazing updates!!!

With that we will be taking a break for now from the Community Newsletter, so welcome, and this time we will be covering the past months of January and December!

We created a monthly newsletter to help keep everyone in the community updated on the latest changes in EA Sports PGA Tour, share Community Highlights and Feedback, and shout out any awesome moments you might have while on the greens, and it has been a blast!

While each month was different, it was important to highlight what other PGA Fans might be talking about.

Updates & Announcements - What Happened Last Month?

PGA Tour Updates:

• EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR™ Patch Notes 10.0
  • Highlights:
    • Pro Pass** is back in Season 9 with new gear just in time for winter with the new J.LINDEBERG Beanie and Nike Golf Hoodie. Completing Season 9 Pro Pass will earn you Nelly Korda’s 2021 Iron Spec in the free tier and the TaylorMade P790 Phantom Black Prism Red Irons in the premium tier. 
    • Tournaments now have Specs with improved ratings and this season will be awarding new Season 9 Precision and Impact Series Specs.
    • Fixed the ball repositioning logic so that it is always disabled for balls on the green. This was noticeable on holes like Harbour Town #14 and Sawgrass #17 if a ball was hit onto the green close to the water.
• EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR™ Patch Notes 11.0
  
  • Highlights: 

    • Season 10 is the biggest season yet for Pro Pass** with 37 cosmetics items available in the premium tier. This is also the first season to feature cosmetics as part of the free tier. Included are 12 variations of EA hats and visors in addition to the same quantities of XP, RP, Tickets, and Specs that have been in previous seasons. 

    • Hole Map has been expanded with a new “Green View” camera angle. This is intended to simulate a pro golfer’s ability to reference their yardage book during a round to understand pin location, green dimensions, and slope. 
    • Turn-based stroke play with two to four players has been added as a new playable format to Private Match mode. Simultaneous stroke play with two to sixteen players is still available to play in Private Match and remains in Online mode as well.
    • Ryder Cup Match Play is back and available to play in Online and Private Match modes. In Online, Ryder Cup has been added to the daily playlist rotation for Match Play.
