What Can Players Expect from PGA TOUR 2K25?
Smoother Overall Gameplay
PGA TOUR 2K25 will include a variety of in-game updates to improve visuals, expand available courses and streamline mechanics. The game aims to "represent the rich history and bright future of golf", and its cover images feature iconic golf athletes Tiger Woods, Max Homa and Matt Fitzpatrick.
New Real-World Tournaments
For the first time ever, PGA TOUR 2K25 will allow players to participate in prestigious real-world golf competitions in-game including The US Open Championship, The Open Championship and The PGA Championship. The tourneys will include realistic courses with updated graphics.
More Accurate Mechanics
The game will also introduce a new EvoSwing system. According to 2k Games, this system "truly nails the feel of handling a golf club" and has "unrivaled realism." Updates will also reportedly include "new shot types, ball flights, roll physics, and visual improvements."
MyPLAYER and Progression
PGA TOUR 2K23 previously introduced the franchise's Career Mode and MyPLAYER experience, which allowed users to embark on their own athletic golf journey with a custom character. PGA TOUR 2K25 will completely revamp the MyPlayer mechanic, and 2k Games calls it "the most diverse, customizable MyPLAYER experience yet." The studio is introducing a "new MyPLAYER Progression system" with "overhauled and expanded skill trees." An "Equipment Progression System" will also arrive. In another twist, users can simulate matches and participate in events. 2k Games says these events include "training" and "pre-tournament" moments. One screenshot on the game's official page indicates players can also complete interviews and interact using several different choices/routes.
Season Changes
2k Games states that seasons will change significantly in PGA TOUR 2K25:
Each PGA TOUR 2K25 Season includes a non-expiring Clubhouse Pass, power increases for equipment progression, Ranked leaderboard resets, regular content updates, and more. Expect regular PGA TOUR Superstore drops, as well as updates to events, challenges, and Quests.
