EA Sports' golf franchise returns this June as Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, handing the franchise's mantle to the reigning No. 1-ranked golfer after a 16-year run with Tiger Woods, publisher Electronic Arts announced today.

The game will launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. EA Sports announced few other details about the game — no specific release date, number of courses or other real-life golfers licensed to appear in the game. A news release touted the usefulness of the Frostbite engine, which drives titles such as the Battlefield series, to rendering the scenic environment of a golf course on new-generation consoles for the first time.

Frostbite's presence also means there will be no loading times between holes, a major inconvenience of the series on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. That's because the entire course can now be rendered all at once, instead of hole-by-hole.

Looking forward to this game. Hopefully they didn't strip it down.

The still shots of the courses look great. But I want to see gameplay video, game mode list (hopefully extensive career mode), course list, and golfer list.

Oh and please have a better way to play out a playoff. The play your hole and not know what happened until after is ridiculous. Having a simultaneous shot tracker should be a minimum

Game won't have the Masters

no buy

They're possibly working on it as an DLC. I agree, that is a big bummer. The contract with Augusta expired. Nice work EA

Speith is in the game. I guess a gameplay video of some sorts will be released today. FINALLY.
