Masters (Augusta Par 3) Course Coming to EA Sports PGA Tour
https://twitter.com/TheMasters/status/1773741925310382204 Pretty happy to hear about this. I hope some more fantasy courses are coming soon though too.

I certainly don't expect the old fantasy courses as they would have to be rebuild from scratch. But I see no reason why they couldn't add the Grand Canyon and Treasure Island courses on Rory built on the same Frostbite engine.
I have a weird vibe about this update, can't explain it. Everything has been so quiet from EA.
@Katybee_1313Yeah, it has been a bit weird. My assumption is that a video from ApexHound gets released early next week, and a post from EA, too. I'd expect the update to go live this coming Thursday, giving everyone a week to play it before the Masters starts the week after that.
I wonder if releasing the news of the Par-3 course from The Masters account was a decision based on the fact that the Masters twitter account has 1.4M followers, while EA PGA Tour's has 73.1K. On Instagram, it's similar: 1.4M for The Masters, 31.9K for EA PGA.Update will be on Tuesday surely, since pretty much every other patch has been aligned with a seasonal tournament ending. Isn't that when the current pro pass ends too?
I'm not really surprised by the lack of news - usually we don't hear anything until the patch notes come out the night before the update. I suppose maybe it's unusual that the anniversary of the game has had zero attempt at building excitement.

Yeah, the Pro Pass season ends prior to Tuesday. For some reason, I thought maybe they'd adjust this update a bit to get it in line with one week before the Masters. Then again, the Par-3 contest is the following Wednesday, so maybe it will still be Tuesday again.
I do seem to recall they were pretty early with some of the patch notes. For patch 9.0, they announced the patch details several days before it actually came out - the patch notes were released Nov. 17, and the patch itself dropped Nov. 21.
This Pro Pass ends tomorrow, so we're getting the update Tuesday. We could get some info from EA tomorrow of what's in the patch. But somehow there's no money to be made in this game for EA except for the premium Pro Pass. No marketing, no ads...
