EA Sports PGA TOUR to Exclusively Have All Four Majors

Does this mean that the war's over now that EA dropped the big one?

Way too early to tell, but I already see that the EA marketing machine is much better at this than 2K's...

Sigh...

Augusta is the one who demands their licensing be exclusive. I understand the frustration with EA/Madden/the NFL, but this is a different beast. Augusta isn't just going to give their rights out to anyone. EA has proven they can do Augusta justice, and will work within the confines of the rigid requirements Augusta is likely to demand when it comes to their properties.

Also, 2K vs. EA in the golf arena will do more for innovation than anything else. There's actual competition here. It's not just one company dominating. That's a huge difference.

That bar is so low, the EA folks probably tripped over it

And I have said this before and I will say it again.
You most DEFINITELY can judge this game against the other sports games that EA has put out. Rory is a fine example of the shiny turds that EA loves to give.
I knew you were a fanboy, just shocked thought at the extent of it.
It’s so bad, that any criticism you have for HB is pure bias and worthless

Funny y’all want to compare 2K to Rory. Guess you going to forget the masterpieces of PS3 ERA? Rory was rushed.

2Ks game is basically a broken career mode. EA knows how to do a real career mode for golf. I’m all in baby!!

A few points..

1. Don't tilt toward personal shots please. Let's please keep it courteous and on the topics at hand.

2. Why are you obsessed with Rory? It was a misstep and the poor dev team had the rug pulled out before they could get done what they wanted. I fully agree and acknowledge that - 100%.

But - Focusing so much on only Rory is omitting the vast majority of EA Golf history, which had some of the best golf releases of all time.

3. The title we should be thinking about here is TW14 Masters, which is clearly what they are aiming to return to. That game was arguably the most content rich and feature complete golf game ever. I literally still play it today (alongside Perfect Golf).
