I totally agree. Don't get so hamstrung by one player. Why not use the madden cover approach to put a "hot player at the time" on the cover of PGA Tour Golf 20XX whenever there is a new release (not even annually needed).

Heck - make "adding Pro's" DLC in itself. And/or allow roster sharing/editing, etc.

They have a good core w the Rory game - They'd already built it. I just can't believe there's no business to be had by expanding on it, even if it has to be slow developing and mostly DLC and paid feature updates over time.

It's really frustrating as only the EA games have nicely replicated the PGA career and progression mode of play, which I find to be a lot of fun.

Agree.

Was just too late to the party and can't get the DLC anymore

I would pay for golfers, equipment, courses, tournaments, etc. Take my money EA, bring back Tiger Woods and NCAA that’s all we want. At least remaster the old games why can’t they do that? Even if we could just play those games on the PS4 with quicker load times I agree it’s unbearable when you go back to play on the PS3 I finally traded mine in along with my copy of ncaa sad day

IMO EA messed up by not continuing with the "Tiger Woods' brand a la Madden in NFL. Tiger Woods has brand recognition and draws in people. EA should've continued with his name on the title instead of Rory's and maybe EA can go back to calling the series "Tiger Woods" if they ever venture back into golf.

I agree. I do wonder though...
Maybe Tiger himself didn't want to continue with it?
Or perhaps he became too expensive to justify and he wasn't willing to flex?

Anyone know that angle on it?

EA parted ways with Tiger and was looking for a way out after his infidelities came to light and as such so did his game IRL, then the injuries, etc.

Wow - That first part is pretty amazing given how they have no such moral character when working to court Floyd Mayweather left and right for UFC & Fight Night releases.

That guy makes dirt look clean.. (and basically always have)

It's also amazing, because you sure hear plenty of stories about the wild antics of golf pros. Many times I've heard it said that nobody parties and hooks up quite like golf pros and hockey players.

Using that as a rationale with Tiger is pretty selective if we're being honest.
Sounds like an excuse to deal with falling sales maybe too..

Exactly continue on with the tiger woods name like madden and rotate golfers to grace the cover it would be good for tiger and good for golf IMO
