Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Will Not Include Augusta National

[MacCLovin]

According to responses on the official Twitter feed for Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, the game will not include The Masters, because the Augusta National license has expired. EA Sports will continue to explore opportunities to include it post-launch, but it doesn't sound likely.

The trial version of Rory McIlroy PGA Tour will be available on EA Access, up to five days before release date. We will know more about it when the official release date is revealed. The game is scheduled to release sometime in June. For more Rory McIlroy PGA Tour details, check the game page.

Slightly disappointing. Would've looked GORGEOUS with this game engine.

Hopefully EA will include as many courses as possible into the game for free, without nickel and diming the customers to death by charging for those ridiculous course packs.

Cannot wait for this game and I expect to pay around $120 for it with all the DLC and I'm fine with that.

X2 here. That $$ will be paid before the game releases. Sucks that Augusta won't be in and that can't be denied but I loved TW14 and I'm sure this one will be played just as much if not more.

That is ashame Augusta isn't going to be in it this year : - ( I don't know if anybody has seen it,but on Amazon the release date is December 31st,unless they changed it.

Too bad they don't have a in game course creator. That kind of solves the issues of not being able to include Augusta because "the license expired". I'm interested in a full course list. This better not be a typical EA next gen first release, i.e. a overly priced bare bones piece of steamy trash, a la NHL'15.

Kind of figured with the June release date. I can see them trying to get it for next year. Hopefully with more horsepower the ps4 has over last gen system there will be plentiful of courses. Just hoping they don't pull an nhl 15.
