EA Sports just announced that EA Sports PGA Tour has entered into a long-term partnership to be the only place where you can play through the FedExCup, including the Playoffs. This will allow fans to play through the three FedExCup Playoffs events and host courses in either career mode and select challenges.
The three events that make up the FedExCup Playoffs in 2022 will be playable at launch in PGA Tour. This means you will get to play on courses for the FedEx St. Jude Championship, BMW Championship, and TOUR Championship: TPC Southwind, Wilmington Country Club, and East Lake Golf Club.
EA Sports also says that PGA Tour will be the first golf game that incorporates what they are calling ShotLink data. This will "provide extensive amounts of data that will be integrated into the game's development, resulting in accurate player ratings and skills and magnified true-to-life in-game events."
EA Sports PGA Tour 2022 will be released for "next-gen platforms" in Spring 2022. Specific platforms and a release date are not yet known.
True to the real-life PGA TOUR season, players will be able to earn FedExCup points throughout the in-game Career Mode for a chance to make the FedExCup Playoffs, with the top golfers at the end of the year given the opportunity to win the FedExCup. Career mode will also see the return of the Korn Ferry Tour, adding another layer of depth to the game that will allow players to hone their skills before joining the PGA TOUR. The Korn Ferry Tour, the PGA TOUR’s developmental tour, will be a key part of a player’s journey to becoming an expert on EA SPORTS PGA TOUR.
