Take your best shot at glory in PGA TOUR 2K25!

PGA TOUR 2K25 features an array of new features and improvements on existing fan-favorites:

• EvoSwing: Realism is dialed up with the all-new EvoSwing mechanic for both Swing Stick and 3-Click Swing. Whether a player is new to the franchise or a seasoned veteran, EvoSwing complements the player's own rhythm and dexterity to better simulate the feeling of swinging a golf club when using Swing Stick. While with 3-Click Swing, players can enjoy the enhanced simulation while using visual cues to hit their shot;
• Perfect Swing: Delivering the most accessible and intuitive golf experience, players can try out the all-new Perfect Swing experience, which ensures perfect contact with every swing. New players can get their bearings with club choice, shot types, lie, wind and various other inputs without worrying about immediately finding their "perfect swing." Perfect Swing is also great for veteran players who simply wish to enjoy a relaxing experience before jumping back into more competitive modes;
• Make History in Major Championships: For the first time in franchise history, PGA TOUR 2K25 players can prove themselves on some of golf's grandest stages and become a legend of the game by conquering three Majors - the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club, the 125th U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, and The 153rd Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club - marking the franchise debut for all three iconic venues.
• Licensed Courses and Topgolf: 27 licensed courses and events are available at launch, including PGA TOUR tournaments such as the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at Pebble Beach, and THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass. The familiar Topgolf experience returns while also adding a range of quests for players to complete. Not to be outdone, the Home of Golf comes to PGA TOUR 2K25 in Season 2 with The Old Course at St. Andrews Links ready for play shortly after launch;
• Play as the Pros: In addition to leaderboards stacked with 200+ big names across the PGA TOUR landscape, PGA TOUR 2K25 players can take control of a roster of 11 featured male and female pros at launch, including Tiger Woods, Max Homa, Matt Fitzpatrick, Justin Thomas, Tony Finau, Lydia Ko, Tom Kim, Brooke Henderson, and more. Also, "The World's Greatest Golfer" Chris McDonald joins the field to teach the pros a thing or two about the sport;
• MyPLAYER, Your Way: The most diverse suite of MyPLAYER creation tools yet allows players to represent themselves in the most authentic way on the course. MyPLAYER progression also comes with an updated Attributes Points system, new Skill Trees per on-course discipline, and an all-new Equipment Progression system. Players can still choose from five archetypes: Powerhouse, Technician, Magician, Greenskeeper, and Sculptor, to match their preferred play style. Apparel options are available from licensed brands, including adidas, FootJoy, Malbon Golf, and more. Clubs and balls from brands including Callaway, COBRA, Mizuno, PUMA, and Titleist can deck out players' golf bags and keep them swinging in style;
• A More Dialed-In MyCAREER Mode: PGA TOUR 2K25 offers the franchise's most immersive and customizable MyCAREER experience yet. Players can show off their personality and resilience with more choices to make and challenges to take on than ever before. The option to dynamically simulate MyCAREER rounds or play through extra gameplay moments has been added with all-new training and pre-tournament events making the MyCAREER journey one every player can take at their own pace;
• Seasons & Clubhouse Pass: Seasons are back in PGA TOUR 2K25 with more on offer than ever before. Each Season includes an all-new Clubhouse Pass that remains available to purchase and progress through even when a new one is released, plus seasonal power increases for equipment progression, ranked leaderboard resets, and more. Fresh content will also be coming daily, weekly, and monthly. Regular Pro Shop drops, as well as updates to events, challenges, and Quests will keep the game fresh and exciting for new and existing players alike.

New Ranked Tours offer daily and weekly tournaments for players to earn rewards each season and climb the rankings ladder. New cross-platform Societies encourage players to challenge friends no matter which platform they prefer;
• Unleash Your Inner Course Architect: The PGA TOUR 2K signature Course Designer offers new tools, surfaces, and items to create even more intricate courses, faster than ever before.

I haven't looked at a golf game in like 15 years, but this looks a lot worse than I would have expected over all this time. The grass and trees look good, but overall the graphics seem dated (the character especially). Maybe it looks better animated?

There are currently 2 golf titles you can go with for the pro/sim feel, this one from 2k, or, shake hands with the devil and get the EA version (which is kinda old at this point, but still works), which is far superior in terms of graphics, Majors, and catalog of real golf courses (same ones as the PGAT circuit, mostly). The 2k version is much easier on resources (hence the lower visuals), and you can build and publish your own courses (at least you could on the previous version), which I find entertaining. If you want to “play against the pros on the TOUR,” then the EA game is it. If you just like golf, then either one is good.
