Why 1-round only?
Why is the only other choice going to be "one round tournaments"? I don't know about others but I still want to make a cut. That's more like PGA golf but I would also enjoy saving some time and pla...

I'd much prefer to have seen them allow a selection between 1 and 4. Everybody would have been able to make a choice each time, based on the course.
Having to choose between 1 and 4 only seems lacking to say the least.
The quick rounds aren't to my taste, so that's a non starter for me.
- @Noya_Wesa Though when I was playing career I was in it for the full experience, so all 4 rounds.
But I would fully support the choice of 1-4 rounds, so that everyone has the opportunity to play how they want.Two rounds is ideal for me since I do not want to waste too much time doing 4 rounds. One round is not enough to catch up if my opponents are scoring well. There are only two course I would prefer one round: Broccoli Bay (aka Chambers Bay) and Cardi Creek (aka Wolf Creek). I just want to get outta those courses ASAP.
@ELF014 I'm on my 9th season of career, and almost every game has been the full 4 rounds. I have only tried the quick round thing a few times, and thought it to be 'less than accurate' with the number of sub and over par holes.
I don't play every event and skip through quite a lot, as I've only got the Fedex Cup achievement to complete, and it's common to skip the same events over and again.
Some I would play if I could do two rounds, but might have no desire for four on the same course, and one round seems too little if I am going to make an effort to take on a course I would normally skip...
What can I say? I'm awkward. 🙂
@Noya_WesaYes you are.
I understand finding it hard to play 4 rounds every tournament because some courses can seem to be a chore. I think this is mainly because the game becomes redundant from the lack of challenge and with our expectations to win every tournament.
It's a mindset I believe we would better to be without.
I had only just gotten into my second season when I stopped playing. The AI was at 100%... playing higher than the sim settings (but with the grids on) and was winning pretty much every tournament. I am sure that is normal for a lot of people in this game.
On my PS5 there appears to be a glitch that wouldn't register my scores on certain tournaments... so I had to play season two as a completionist to capture the ones I was missing.
But the whole experience started to seem hollow and I stopped playing. I'm still missing one or two of the smaller tournaments and the optional ones.
I may start a new career where I use a stock 67 player with everything disabled. I think this will have me playing closer to par golf, at least in the beginning. So a lot of missed cuts. But this may be the way to go to at least have some sort of realism as a struggling tour player.
For myself 1 round doesn't give you the full experience of fighting to make a cut, and the grind of tournament play. It is just a way of quickly getting through a game.
Don't get me wrong... I can be the same way. I remember early on I was behind in a tournament struggling to just even make the cut. I was ready to deliberately miss the cut to get to the next tournament.
I'm now realizing that this is a mindset I really needed to change and to embrace competition and accept a challenge were winning is less attainable. If I can do this I think that when I do win it would only be sweeter.
