For a brief moment, officially licensed PGA Tour Golf games started to resemble buses, with two coming along at once: PGA Tour 2K23 and the far superior EA Sports PGA Tour.
At launch, PGA Tour 2K25 will only have officially rendered representations of 11 of the PGA Tour’s myriad real-life players, which is so few the women end up competing in the men’s tour just to make up the numbers.
The career mode offers more variety than just playing a PGA Tour season: there are also cleverly conceived training exercises, which help hone different aspects of your game, and it’s also worth playing practice rounds, since those provide buffs that you take into your next tournament.
We started off on the Korn Ferry Tour (you can also opt to begin at the Q School which qualifies you for that tour or jump straight into the PGA Tour proper).
PGA Tour 2K25 has an unexpectedly clever career mode, in which by playing you can level up both your golfer’s attributes and his or her clubs, and even the ball (giving a driver greater tolerance to hooks and shanks, for example, or adding to its power).
