Post patch the exchanges and upgrades on the fittings have been absolutely awful. I've done quite a few this is not a small sample size.

Yea I tried to exchange some fittings for power fittings for my woods and gave me timing on one and swing path the next time I tried. Lol

So I skipped ahead to my next MyCareer season to see how Torrey Pines gets included in the schedule.

The Farmers Insurance Open is placed in Week 7 of the season. But it seems only Torrey Pines South is used in the event, not Torrey Pines North. The event listing just says "Torrey Pines South". In reality, players split the first 36 holes between the North and South Courses, then play the final 36 holes on the South Course.

I did notice that the Torrey Pines North course has been added to the curated list of courses that can be swapped into the career mode schedule. However, Torrey Pines South has not been added for some reason.

Just double checked this. Set my tournament rounds to 4, played round one at the South Course, and round 2 shows that it will also be at the South Course. So it doesn't seem like they have the Farmers Insurance Open set up like it really is. Bummer...why even add the North Course to the game then? Just seems like a waste.

Is this tourney added to the schedule as a +1? Or does it replace something else?

Looks like it's a +1. The schedule, with the Farmers Insurance Open, has 31 events.

In previous seasons, the schedule is 30 events long.

Official update on the changes to the fittings:



This is a bit disconcerting...it seems they are simply guessing at this point as to how they want the game to play? Throwing some things against the wall and seeing if it sticks?

Thanks AB. Hopefully that turns in to 32 when Pebble Beach drops.

In career, I setup the major tournaments for 2 rounds. During my second round of the Legends tourney, after every hole the leaderboard only displayed the scores from the end of the first round. Also, on most of the holes, I got audio commentary talking about how great I was doing, especially since it's "still the first round". LOL

I assume it would be hard to make two courses a part of one event. Ideally I'd switch them, but with South as the FIO course, I set the North course to the Northwest Open's track, which is fun to play later in the year.

Was not to tricky in TGC1 for them you could have 4 different courses for one event.

It's still just odd to me that they're paying for Torrey Pines North and South to be in the game, but can't use the courses properly in the career mode.

I do like that we can still use the North Course in other events, but then Torrey Pines South isn't included in that curated list??? Just some odd decisions that feel like they're going only half-way on these additions and can't be bothered to do the few additional steps to really make the game as good or immersive as it could be.

Plus, this also seems to mean that Pebble Beach will likely be the solo host of the AT&T Pro-Am, and Spyglass Hill will also be reduced to just a course you can add in to other events when they get released at some point. Also, I'd imagine that Pebble will not be in that curated list, either, just like Torrey South.

What's even more odd with all this Torrey Pines North/South business is that Torrey Pines North has the Farmers Insurance Open tee box markers and pin flags...

Re: PGA Tour 2K23 Patch 1.06 Adds Torrey Pines North and South Courses and More - Pat

Is it not plausible that the game doesn't have the ability to have two separate courses for one event....?


I'm just stoked to have those courses in the game.

Re: PGA Tour 2K23 Patch 1.06 Adds Torrey Pines North and South Courses and More - Pat

I'm glad they're in the game, too. And I'm glad that you can swap the North Course in at all.

When they announced the Torrey Pines North and South courses together, along with Pebble and Spyglass, my assumption was that these courses would be used as they are in real life. It's just a bit disappointing to see that these events don't mimic how they work on the real PGA Tour, when they have the rights to the courses to do so.

Probably has to do with the amount of memory the course designer can hold. If I remember correctly certain assets take up a ton. They probably did both courses with one plot. It’ll be interesting to see how they handle pebble and spyglass. Also worth noting there are no camera cutaways between holes which is disappointing.
