Game Over OnlineEA and The PGA Partner to Bring PGA Championship and PGA Coaches’ Expertise to EA Sports PGA Tour
With the 2021 PGA Championship teeing off this week at The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, Electronic Arts and the PGA of America today shared details of their partnership to authentically deliver the excitement, both on and off the course, of the PGA Championship in EA Sports PGA Tour.
The new game, releasing in Spring 2022, will be the exclusive home of all four of golf’s major championships: The Masters Tournament, PGA Championship, U.S. Open Championship and The Open Championship. Golf fans can also compete at the biggest PGA Tour events, as they strive to build a legendary career.
EA Sports is partnering with the PGA of America to allow players to virtually experience the PGA Championship and immerse themselves in the fanfare of the major championship. They will be able to hoist the historic Wanamaker Trophy, revel in the Champion’s Ceremony, play as or against past PGA Champions and compete on virtual renderings of the 2021 PGA Championship host course at Kiawah Island; and the 2022 host course at Southern Hills Country Club.
The game will also include tutorials and coaching challenges, designed in collaboration with the PGA Education and Player Development Departments, that teach skills valuable not only in-game, but also in the real world.
