Mouse pointer in the middle of the screen

Hi,

I have purchased EA Sports PGA Tour via Steam on a completely normal desktop PC with Windows 10. I have an original Xbox Elite V2 controller connected through an original Xbox Wireless Adapter. The controller works flawlessly in all games on Steam, including EA Sports PGA Tour.

However, I'm experiencing a strange error/bug that is incredibly annoying in EA Sports PGA Tour. I constantly have a mouse pointer in the middle of the screen every time I start the game. I have recorded a startup video to show here:

The biggest problem is that the mouse pointer keeps moving my active selection to where the mouse pointer is. This is clearly visible in the video after I click on Quick Play. I only use the Xbox controller in the game, so I don't want this mouse cursor in the middle of the screen all the time, which disturbs the navigation. Sure, I can move the mouse pointer to the outer edge with my mouse, but it re-centers every now and then during gameplay all the time. I've also tried starting the game without either mouse or keyboard connected, same mouse pointer in the middle anyway.

I don't know if this error is related to the Steam app and/or the EA app in the background. For obvious reasons, I can't start the game without having both of these running. I have also seen tips about turning off overlays, both in the EA app and in Steam, but this makes no difference.

So, does anyone here know what causes this error? If so, what is the solution?
Are all of you with Steam on PC and a controller experiencing the same issue?

EA developers:
Is this a known bug, or what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance...
