PGA Tour adds some Battlefield shine — and lets you play as a true duffer, too

EA brings some big changes to its long-running golf franchise.

Electronic Arts parted ways with golf star Tiger Woods in 2013, putting an end to the Tiger Woods PGA Tour golf simulation game series that had seen yearly releases since 1999. The publisher did not release a golf game in 2014, but it’s now prepped to launch an overhauled golf game with the world’s top golfer, three-time major champion Rory McIlroy, as the cover athlete. It hits Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this summer. But an even bigger change than the cover star is the engine that powers PGA Tour.
