Re: The “Alternate” Bug?

So………..If I choose NOT to participate in the Arnold Palmer Invitational in order to play the “Alternate” tournament, it’s going to skip over it anyway and throw me right into the Players Championship…….Wait, What?!? 🤔😲😳🙄 Going “on the record” as saying that’s SUPER LAME!!! 🤫😝😵‍💫😝

I had the same issue in the past. To be able to get to the alternate tournaments you need to create a new golfer and start at PCA Tour to get to alternate tournaments. Most alternate tournaments you could skip to next season and make sure not to win. With Banff and Wetlands, you need to make sure you don’t get an overall ranking above I think 65.

The link below describes my question on alternate tournaments.

    @PalomaMarvel24 Please note, I’m accepting this as the ANSWER to my question, but NOT the SOLUTION 🤔 Even though I am glad that it was able to get you guys what you wanted/needed but I refuse to have to go “out of my way” in order to accomplish something that shouldn’t be an issue to begin with 🤔🙄😑 If EA even bothers to read these posts……..here’s a SIMPLE SOLUTION…..just remove those alternate tournaments from the quest category 👍

    Absolutely agree. I would rather have the alternate tournaments from quests eliminated. It is better if all of them are available instead of needing the hassle to create a second golfer.

    @PalomaMarvel24so I could get things ticked off to complete my quest I set up a new golfer so I could play those alternate comps. I even went as far to set up a female golfer using my daughters name to tick those off to. I played 4 rounds as amature at Banden Dunes, qualified to play Augusta as an amature, won The Masters after another 4 rounds and it hasn't even registered even as a top 80 finish

    @SpurS1964, I don't think what you did as an Amateur count, it's top 80 ranked as a pro once you're on the PGA Tour.

    There are some quests you can only complete as an amateur.
