I found a solution that worked for me :
Open steam and go to library
Right click on EA SPORTS PGA TOUR
Go to properties
Click on controller
And a drop down will appear and select the option "disable steam input"
I have been looking and looking for solutions to this, but no matter what I do, the game still shows as XBox inputs. I have tried disabling in the properties-controller menu of the game in steam, but then the controller doesnt work at all. I have tried so many workarounds that I am confused as to what I have and have not tried. The game continues to show XBox inputs no matter what I do.
The PS5 dual sense controller has native windows BT support. The DS4 uses Sony's proprietary BT driver to connect wirelessly, so it needs Sony's wireless dongle, or an Xbox 360 emulation software (such as Steam's DS4 controller support) for a wireless connection. So if you have a Dual sense or the DS4 dongle you need to disable Steams or any other virtual controller support to avoid them being detected as a Xbox 360.
I have a Dual Sense paired with windows BT and it is properly recognized by the game.
When i disable Steam controllers, it no longer picks up any buttons. I think I may have confused the system by trying to do it via Steam as well as DS4. Now no matter what I do, PGA tour thinks I am using an XBox controller and that means the menus and HUD display dont match the controller.
I managed to finally get this to work. Not sure what actually corrected it, as I am new to using a controller with my PC. None the less..
I imported the EA app into Steam. I then got DS4Windows to recognize the controller. I deactivated Steam controllers on the EA app. I launched the EA app from within Steam and then launched PGA Tour from the EA app. All is working. I think importing the EA app was not necessary as I am guessing I could deactivate Steam controllers from the PGA Tour app within Steam and it would do the same. Given how much time I have put into getting this to work, I am not willing to try that, as it is finally working.
Now if EA would only figure out the challenges and how they are not giving awards.... Still enjoying myself and playing some golf!
☹️This didn't work for me. The controller works fine, just xbox icons. Just using the old mind conversion, keeps mind young.
Disable works for me on games like Harry Potter, God of War, Spider-Man
Have you been able to get this to work with Star Wars games? When I do it for those PS controllers don't work.
- Battlefront II
-Jedi Fallen Order
I usually just play and convert.
EA should look into patching their PC/Steam games to allow PlayStation icons to work with all of their games. Especially FPS or 3rd person where the Gyro can be utilized. Big oversight here. Haven't played PGA Tour yet, but just got it and will see if the disable works.
