Still no Other modes to play with friends, just same Divot derby style stroke with friends. No reward system after lvl 50 (Give some coin reward for hitting another lvl or something). i see after a round i have well over 1,000,000 points that do nothing. They have the game modes we want for local. How hard is it to transfer those modes to online? The 20th of April was our last patch. EA went dark after that. What is going on?

I find the difficulty of the game fine but this is my first time using a controller. ANd I don't think i've been putting spin on the ball correctly all this time lol.
Sadly the tournament rankings seem very heavily weighted by the number of tournaments played over some sort of average finishing position. For example on PS5 the top two on the Pro leaderboard are:
1 joonesy600000 Played = 71, Wins = 38
2 LZR_SloanerTW Played = 68, Wins = 66
For context I'm currently 135 on the same leaderboard but have only been in the winner category twice, although this will be 3 times after the latest daily counts as I managed -6 at St Andrews 🙂. First time I've played this course after some significant power and spec upgrades that definitely helped. That I'm in any way troubling top scores does point to a mix of both an easier game and low participation in the tournaments though. The EA games I play most are the F1 games and there is zero chance of me troubling the top of the leaderboards in those!
I was just curious bud. I'd say there is a healthy amount of players for a game that hasn't been on the pc in 15 years and I've haven't felt any dropoff yet. As long as I can get competitive matchups i could care less how many people are playing. Thats all that matters. I'd say there is probably around 1000 people in the daily tourney. I was once ranked 500 and 800.

As best I can judge on PS5 there are ballpark 3,000 participants in the daily arcade tournaments and closer to 2,000 for the pro dailies. I don't do the tour daily much to be as sure there. These numbers aren't a problem in themselves but do point to general participation.
Your experience with online matchmaking seems better than some but glad it's working OK for you.
I don't think there being no recent game in the franchise on PC really makes any difference personally. It's a golf game and other golf games have been available and played on PC. A few may be very loyal to particular series but mostly I'd guess those interested in golf games will judge each new one on its merits.
Shouldn't we have had an update today for Season 2? Season 1 is officially over and there isn't anything new for season 2. That's pretty disappointing at the moment since the PGA Championship is just 2 weeks ago I thought we'd have Season 2 starting right away as well. Anyone know how long the gap will be?
Probably next week be update...guessing be just before pga championship lol no idea
On the EA F1 games there is always a gap of a few days between one 'season' ending and the next starting so I wouldn't be overly surprised if we find the same with PGA Tour. If it's what we're expecting it will need to be associated with a game update with the new course, unless it's been there all along I guess.
Pga championship on 18th May which is a Thursday so I personally think we will see a update with the course included on the Tuesday 16th May...icould be over thinking this but that's what I'm going with lol
The communication with the player base is ridiculous.
I wasn’t expecting an update this week, but I was expecting a community post as to what’s coming up next week, an update as to what they’re working on specifically and perhaps a sneak at new store content.
A dev came onto Himo's stream and said the patch was coming next week. Sorry to those hoping for sooner, but I hope that helps ease the frustration so you don't steam over the coming days.

Everybody I knew, friends and family, left the pc after tw08 and went to consoles. I'm the only one still on the pc. PC Gaming in North America has generally been dead for a decade. Most popular game I know of is Valorant and thats not saying much by old standards. It is what it is, pc can always have a resurgence. Its not like people on consoles are jumping to play online either. Only people I know playing online are my little nieces and nephews playing roblox and minecraft lol. Their generation might push for better online matchmaking in the future if they get into positions of power. We have to move to South Korea or Japan I guess if want real online gaming with competitive public matchups.
