EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR™

EA SPORTS PGA TOUR launched on April 6, 2023 and has been running as a live-service game ever since. The game is built around a seasonal structure — by April 2024 it had progressed through at least 11 named seasons, each delivering a Pro Pass (a battle pass system where players earn cosmetics by completing live Quests and playing matches), rotating gear drops in the in-game store, new online tournament playlists, and themed challenges tied to real-world golf events like the Masters, Ryder Cup, and FedExCup Playoffs. Major content has shipped regularly throughout the game's life. Season 6 (September 2023) added the Marco Simone Ryder Cup course and team-based 2v2 online formats. Season 11 (April 2024) was described by the developer as "the largest content update to date," adding four new courses and Jack Nicklaus as the first new playable pro golfer since launch, bringing the total to 39 courses and 23 pro golfers — all at no additional cost beyond the base game. The store continuously rotates new gear, clubs, and apparel, and EA Play members receive access to updates as part of their subscription. The store description explicitly highlights "exciting new content, golf gear drops to customize your golfer, and online tournaments," confirming the ongoing live content model. The game's seasonal pass, rotating monetized store, and live quest structure are all hallmarks of a service that is designed to operate indefinitely without a defined completion point.
