When do you guys think The Golf Club 2019 will actually release?

If the date get's pushed let's say 4 weeks after Madden then I may pick up Madden and put in some solid weeks of play. Does this make sense ? I tend to put a game on the back burner when I move to a new one.

I think your idea of the 21st sounds the most likely to me. HB Studios has already announced that they will be on location at The Northern Trust Open (Ridgewood Country Club, in Paramus, New Jersey) the week of the 21st, showing The Golf Club 2019 Featuring PGA TOUR off. What better time to do that than release week?

Although, I think they would have made a bigger splash by doing it at the PGA Championship this week, especially with an officially licensed version of Bellerive CC to go along with the package.

I really hope this is the truth, my wife is going mad asking me "whens that golf game come out??" and I have no idea and I always know when everything is coming out..it's really strange...

We also dont know how much it's going to cost.

29 39 49 59 ?

This entire situation seems a bit odd to me.

This concerns me. With EA's history of buying out the competition or license, would anyone be shocked if this were the case? As much as I love the game, I don't know if I could support it under EA's control. Mostly because I love that they aren't tied to an annual release schedule so can focus on releasing meaningful improvements with each one.

Could be nothing and I've got absolutely nothing to base this off of. It's just when I hear sports game and rights negotiation, I flash back to the Madden situation. (and yes, I know it's the NFL's choice to be exclusive and all...)

Gamepass is owned by Microsoft. I think you're confusing it with EA Access.

Also, EA relinquished the license to the PGA in order to allow TGC to use license it. If EA wants in the golf game, they have a game and had the license if they wanted to use it.
