Highly unlikely.
See below, per EA they no longer have licensing for Augusta.

According to a statement from EA, the upcoming EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour game will not feature a major golf course.

Apparently, EA will not be including the Augusta National Golf Club, the Georgia course that is the home of the Masters Tournament, due to an expired license. Ea mentioned that it is still looking for a way to add the course into the game.

Our license with Augusta National has expired and it does not currently appear in EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour. However, we will continue to examine opportunities to include this world-class course in the game.

That was at launch.....that does not mean they won't get it at some point, but I am betting it won't be in 3 weeks.....

Sure, the course IS right next to the Pennsylvania turnpike, but it sounds like you're in the middle of it. IRL, that course does not have that much traffic noise, does it? Play that course with a headset on and you're really hear it (along with the constant hum of the overhead blimp). I think EA should be able to tweak that though... -Bus

Oakmont literally is in the middle of the turnpike.

You actually have to cross a bridge over the turnpike in between a couple holes.

I don't foresee any scenario where Augusta is added this year. It just wouldn't make economic sense for EA to pay the licensing fee for a game that already 1 year into its product life cycle.

The only way it would make sense is if the ANGC agreed to a multiple year agreement and would allow them to go back and add the game to the previous (current) release and not count that is a year on the new licensing agreement.

There would be no other economic advantage for EA Sports to sign a LA with ANGC this year if a game is not to be released until next season.

Just my $.02

The addition of Oakmont got me to finally buy this game. My early impressions are that it is an underrated game. I live near Oakmont and am going to the U.S. Open so I was intrigued by the course being available. It's tough, though. And that's the way it should be.

Gameplay is awesome but features are greatly lacking. Underrated game no question. Just no thrills and reasons to keep playing. Career mode becomes boring very quickly.
