Oh, this is brilliant! EA Sports, wily as ever, has released the first ever teaser trailer for its upcoming EA Sports PGA Tour – timed perfectly to disrupt the release of 2K Sports’ own PGA Tour 2K23 this week, of course. The game, which is not due out until Spring 2023, promises to be the “only place golf fans can play all four major championships including the Masters Tournament, PGA Championship, US Open Championship, and The Open Championship”.
At just 30 seconds, this is the very definition of a teaser trailer, but running in Frostbite there’s no question it looks incredible. “By utilising EA’s own Frostbite engine, EA Sports PGA Tour will be the most visually stunning and accurate recreation of many of the world’s most famous courses, and will deliver the most immersive and authentic experience possible where fans can play against and as some of the biggest names in professional golf.”
In the meantime, as we mentioned, PGA Tour 2K23 is out this week. That should keep you occupied until next year, eh?

Wow, this looks stunning!
Bloody hell, those graphics are beautiful. That’s the 2K games’ weakness as well, they’re a bit lifeless. Smart marketing. Smarketing.
Wow, best looking golf game yet?
Let's hope the gameplay and career are up to par!
I haven't played a golf game in a few years and my jaw dropped seeing this. Looks stunning. They are usually pretty iterative but this looks like a HUGE step up.
@themightyant Definitely next level this. Focusing on next-gen has paid off.
Not due until spring 2023? I'll still be getting PGA Tour then. As disruptions go this one is pretty ineffective. Looks great though but what's the gameplay like?
Still i rather see a new Everybody Golf but it really looks gorgeous.
Everybody's golf for me until this comes out. Hope the Everybody's Golf DLC courses get a reduction since Sony have binned the game off.
Theres room for both golf games on my shelf..i cant wait for friday..
If only this wasn't EA..
Looks great visually! I'm still picking up 2K though. Gotta have something to take the edge off with all the rats I'll be dealing with in Plague Tale!
I love golf games, not sure if ill have enough time to check this out but its on my radar.
I paid for the 2K23 early release, I loved the old Golf Club games. I’m gonna get the EA game as well. The teaser looks good, but this is still EA. Which means I don’t fully trust them….
what are you all talking about? this is an absolutely average-looking trailer....a golf game should look at least 10x better than Horizon.
Have to agree with kejsi- having read the comments I thought we’d be looking at photo realistic (like the matrix demo). This looked pretty average to me. The water looked terrible, bunkers no real depth to them. Can’t be that hard to recreate a course in near photo detail given with picture is static.
I may well get both, already have 2K23 pre-ordered. But it is EA and it doesn't have Tiger, and the course creation community in 2K21 was brilliant, expect it will be the same for 2K23. Can EA match that? Won't find out for ages!
@DarthKiwi 100% agree..the user created courses have been really good and some of the recreations of real courses have been great..i doubt E.A.'s is going to have a course creator because they will want you to purchase extra courses but i'll still probably buy the game because its golf...
@kejsi-sensei i'd love photo realistic graphics but to be honest its all about the physics for me..pga 2k21 nailed the ball physics for me and thats got to be the defining mechanic..i can put up with graphics that look a bit naff in places but its got to be smooth and that ball has to react perfectly..
It looking stunning could be a bit of a deal breaker. I used to LOVE the tiger woods pga games. Especially in their slightly more bonkers phase. Been looking at the one out next week. Checked out the videos on the pre-order page on my ps5 earlier. Got to say I thought it looked pretty horrible graphically!
@IronMike wouldn't look this great if it wasn't. Back in your corner.
@daveofduncan so you play games based on how they "look"?! Christ, good luck in life..
@Flaming_Kaiser Same here — I'm not bothered about the officially-licensed tournaments that they're touting — as long as I can play a solid game of golf, with a deep and customisable career mode, which Everybody's Golf had in spades (well, sand wedges)
@Andee 😂 But in the PS3 style i was quite dissapointed in the PS4 version. 😢
@Flaming_Kaiser TBF it was my first experience with the series, so it was like a breath of fresh air (I tried Rory McIllroy's PGA tour and it just didn't do an awful lot for me — it felt like they'd basically started from scratch and hadn't fully baked in the full game yet)
@Andee If you ever get your hands on a PS3 you will have a blast i think that game looked better then what we got on PS4 or maybe thats the nostalgia tinted glasses i have on but i loved that game.
@Flaming_Kaiser oh yeah I still have my PS3 hooked up! There were 20 or so exclusive games that are held captive on that platform that I'm still clinging onto, but it's getting slowly chipped away at as time goes by...
@Andee If you can find the game then you should really give it a try its so much fun. Its cool unlocking new characters with better stats and clubs, balls a real fun done right oldskool rewarding system before the MT mania.
