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 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.
