EA Sports PGA Tour
Road to the Masters tagline used in physical versions.
EA Tiburon developed this golf sim, published by EA Sports for PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. It marks the franchise's first release since Rory McIlroy PGA Tour in 2015, and is the first title since PGA Tour 98 to drop an athlete's name from its title. Originally promoted with the tagline Road to the Masters, the game's official name omits a year, with taglines shifting to highlight different majors while physical copies retain the original slogan.

Reception
According to Metacritic, the PlayStation 5 version received generally favorable reviews, while the PC and Xbox Series X and S versions received mixed or average reviews. Gamespot wrote that EA's return to golf is promising, with a range of shot types, courses, and variables making for a methodical and tactical game that is challenging and rewarding. It noted that the game stumbles by barely introducing players to its robust mechanics, and has a laggy swing and inconsistent putting, but represents a solid re-entry and a sturdy foundation for the future.
