EA SPORTS PGA TOUR Adds Torrey Pines and The Country Club in Brookline

Earlier this year, EA SPORTS announced that it would be reviving the PGA TOUR video game after taking a ~6 year hiatus. And to help energize its return to console gaming, EA Sports has added 2 additional Major host venues—Torrey Pines, host of the 2021 U.S. Open Championship and The Country Club in Brookline, host of the 2021 U.S. Open Champion—to further complement The Masters and host venue, Augusta National Golf Club.

EA SPORTS and the United States Golf Association (USGA) have coordinated to release an authentic representation of the U.S. Open Championship experience in EA SPORTS PGA TOUR. Notably, The Country Club in Brookline will be making its first appearance in a video game ever when the game launches in Spring 2022.

To realistically render one of America’s most legendary courses for the first time, EA SPORTS is implementing cutting-edge aerial scanning to capture The Country Club and its unique history as one of the five founding member clubs of the USGA and the site of Francis Quimet’s triumphant 1913 victory which propelled golf into the mainstream.

“We are delighted to be back in the game with EA SPORTS,” said Navin Singh, USGA Chief Commercial Officer. “With the inclusion of so many USGA championship host sites, including the U.S. Amateur Championship, career mode in the game will really allow players to grow their skills authentically. We look forward to players building their game up to the challenges of playing at this year’s U.S. Open host, Torrey Pines and for the first time ever, next year’s host site, The Country Club in Brookline.”

“Winning the 2015 U.S. Amateur Championship was a highlight of my early career that helped propel my game forward, ultimately winning the 2020 U.S. Open Championship, which felt like years of hard work coming to fruition,” said Bryson DeChambeau. “I’m a big video game fan, and EA SPORTS bringing not only the U.S Open but also amateur golf events, is very exciting, especially given how important they are to golfers growing their career.”

EA SPORTS PGA TOUR is the exclusive home of all four of golf’s major championships: the Masters Tournament, PGA Championship, U.S. Open Championship, and The Open Championship. When the game launches, golf fans can also live out a legendary career as they authentically compete at THE PLAYERS Championship, and FedExCup Playoffs, in addition to experiencing the unique atmosphere and venues of each tournament.
