EA has announced a next-gen golf game called EA Sports PGA Tour.
The company said EA Sports PGA Tour, which is built using the Frostbite engine, will include many of the world’s most famous courses, and lets you play against and as some of the biggest names in professional golf. But it didn’t say which courses or golfers, and didn’t say when the game will come out.
It did say it had signed a long-term deal with the PGA Tour, so this amounts to EA getting back into golf games at a time when rival publisher 2K signed a long-term deal of its own with Tiger Woods for PGA Tour 2K.
A decade ago, Tiger Woods was the face of the successful PGA Tour series back when it was developed and published by EA. 16 games were released as Tiger Woods PGA Tour with him on the cover, until Woods’ career waned and his private life repeatedly hit the headlines.
