PGA Tour is a series of golf video games developed and published by Electronic Arts - and later their EA Sports sub-label - since 1990. The series primarily features courses featured on the U.S. PGA Tour, and other notable courses (such as those that have hosted majors).
In 1998, EA began publishing their golf games with the endorsement of Tiger Woods. Following the Tiger Woods 99 PGA Tour Golf release, subsequent titles were named Tiger Woods PGA Tour and released yearly.
Although EA Sports developed most games in the series internally, some SKUs have come from outside developers including the first edition, Tiger Woods 99 PGA Tour Golf, which Adrenalin Entertainment developed in conjunction with EA for the PlayStation and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2001 for the PlayStation, which was developed by Stormfront Studios. IOMO also produced versions of the game for mobile phones for the 2002, 2004, and 2005 editions.
In October 2013, EA ended its relationship with Woods, being replaced with Rory McIlroy, then top golfer in the world, who became the new title athlete of the franchise. The game, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, was released in 2015.{{cite web|title=EA Sports' golf video game returns as Rory McIlroy PGA Tour (Update)|url=http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/16/8225953/rory-mcilroy-pga-tour-launch-date-xbox-one-ps4-ea-sports|website=Polygon|date=March 16, 2015|access-date=16 March 2015}}{{cite news| last=Rovell| first=Darren| title=EA Sports, Tiger Woods part ways| url=https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/9895265/tiger-woods-electronic-arts-end-15-year-relationship| work=ESPN| access-date=2014-12-23| date=29 October 2013}}
The series was responsible for several innovations in the genre, such as the now standard three-click swing method. In 1995 a critic stated in GamePro that "The PGA series flies high above the rest for two reasons: You can completely control a shot, and you play on the best courses around."{{cite magazine|title=PGA Tour Golf Invades Europe|magazine=GamePro|issue=83|publisher=IDG|date=August 1995|page=81}} However, unlike other games in the EA Sports label, the series was often shadowed by other competitors such as the Jack Nicklaus series, Links series, Microsoft Golf or The Golf Pro.
PGA Tour has brought in almost $771 million during the time it was named for Tiger Woods from 1999 to 2013.{{cite web |url=http://en.espn.co.uk/golf/sport/story/252495.html |title=Electronic Arts end Woods relationship |publisher=espn |access-date=August 1, 2018}}

Starting in 1998, Tiger Woods was the star and face of the series.{{cite magazine |title=Tiger Scores with EA|magazine=Electronic Gaming Monthly|issue=106 |publisher=Ziff Davis |date=May 1998|page=24}} The deal with Woods was worth $6.2 to 7 million a year at the height of his 15 years at EA Sports.{{cite web |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2013/10/29/sport/golf/golf-tiger-woods-gaming/index.html |title=Tiger Woods dropped by EA Sports |date=October 29, 2013 |publisher=CNN |access-date=August 9, 2018}}{{cite news |url=https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/game-star-rory-mcilroy-swipes-5m-show-from-tiger-woods-31075174.html |title=Game star Rory McIlroy swipes £5m show from Tiger Woods |newspaper=belfasttelegraph |access-date=August 9, 2018}}
Both parties had agreed to incorporate the Masters into a video game for several years, but Augusta National Golf Club agreed only when the presentation and playability of the course was perfect. It took EA Tiburon's 80-person development team three years of work from 2009 to 2011 to make Augusta National available in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12.{{cite web |url=https://kotaku.com/at-long-last-the-masters-come-to-video-games-5723457 |title=At Long Last, The Masters Come To Video Games |date=January 4, 2011 |publisher=Kotaku |access-date=February 24, 2023}}
In January 2012, EA announced that there would be no more releases on the Wii, with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions would continue to receive new online and social features. They also said that the Xbox 360's Kinect and the PlayStation 3's PlayStation Move have both made "significant advances in motion gaming."{{cite web |url=https://kotaku.com/sign-589-that-the-wii-is-on-the-wane-5883322 |title=Sign #589 That the Wii Is On The Wane |date=February 8, 2012 |publisher=Kotaku |access-date=March 8, 2023}}{{cite web |url=http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/28623/no-tiger-woods-on-wii-this-year |title=No Tiger Woods on Wii This Year |date=January 10, 2011 |publisher=nintendoworldreport.com |access-date=March 8, 2023}}{{cite web |url=https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/01/tiger_woods_your_time_on_wii_is_over |title=Tiger Woods, Your Time on Wii is Over |date=January 11, 2011 |publisher=nintendolife.com |access-date=March 8, 2023}}

According to Kotaku, Electronic Arts reportedly planned to outsource Tiger Woods PGA Tour 15 and give the in-house team at EA Tiburon two years to make Tiger Woods PGA Tour 16 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (the title would see release as Rory McIlroy PGA Tour). However, when CEO John Riccitiello resigned March 2013, this plan was dropped to save costs.{{cite web |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/no-tiger-woods-game-next-year-report/1100-6407655/ |title=No Tiger Woods game next year - Report |publisher=GameSpot |access-date=March 10, 2019}}{{cite web |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-ceo-resigns/1100-6405525/ |title=EA CEO resigns |publisher=GameSpot |access-date=March 10, 2019}}{{cite web |url=https://kotaku.com/ea-sports-also-hurts-after-a-rough-week-of-painful-cuts-483860247 |title=EA Sports Also Hurts After a Rough Week of Painful Cuts |date=April 28, 2013 |publisher=kotaku |access-date=March 10, 2019}}{{cite web |url=https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/rumor-tiger-woods-pga-tour-15-canceled-as-ea-redefines-its-sports-games/ |title=Rumor: 'Tiger Woods PGA Tour 15' canceled as EA redefines its sports games |date=April 29, 2013 |publisher=digitaltrends |access-date=March 25, 2019}}
In October 2013, EA's partnership with Woods and a licensing agreement with Augusta National Golf Club reached an end.{{cite web |url=https://www.golfchannel.com/article/grill-room/pga-tour-career-mode-be-featured-video-game/ |title=Tour partners with HB Sports as EA license expires |date=May 21, 2018 |publisher=golfchannel |access-date=August 1, 2018}}{{cite web |url=https://www.hardcoregamer.com/2018/01/17/its-time-for-a-new-pga-game-ea/286604/ |title=It's Time for a New PGA Game, EA |date=January 17, 2018 |publisher=hardcoregamer.com |access-date=September 28, 2018}} According to EA, the split is a mutual decision.{{cite web |url=https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/tiger-woods-ea-end-partnership-15-years/ |title=Tiger Woods and EA end their partnership after 15 years |date=October 29, 2013 |publisher=digitaltrends.com |access-date=August 1, 2018}}{{cite web |url=https://www.cinemablend.com/games/EA-Tiger-Woods-Part-Ways-60204.html |title=EA, Tiger Woods Part Ways |date=October 29, 2013 |publisher=cinemablend.com |access-date=September 28, 2018}}
The agreement with HB Studios comes after a similar long-term licensing agreement between the PGA Tour and Electronic Arts came to an end. EA had dominated electronic golf games thanks to a partnership with 15-time major tournament winner Tiger Woods. From 1999 to 2013 Tiger Woods PGA Tour was the top video golf game on the market. After EA and Woods ended their agreement in 2013, EA developed a similar game in 2015 in a partnership with Rory McIlroy. Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, running on the Frostbite engine, did not fare nearly as well as the previous EA versions featuring Woods. The game was pulled from all digital storefronts in May 2018.{{cite web |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/mike-buteau/2018/05/23/pga-tour-partners-with-video-game-developer-hb-studios-for-the-golf-club-2019-as-ea-sports-exits/#67b19abc3815 |title=PGA Tour Partners With Video Game Developer HB Studios For 'The Golf Club 2019' As EA Sports Exits |work=forbes |access-date=July 28, 2018}}
In September 2018, EA relinquished its agreement with the PGA Tour in what appears to be a move away from golf games.{{cite web |url=https://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/05/22/ea-sports-no-longer-making-golf-games-pga-tour/ |title=EA Sports No Longer Making Golf Games (For Now) |publisher=ComicBook.com |access-date=September 28, 2018}}
In August 2018, PGA Tour licensing director Matt Iofredo said the new partnership with HB Studios is part of the sport's on-going efforts to introduce golf to a wider audience.{{cite web |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/mike-buteau/2018/05/23/pga-tour-partners-with-video-game-developer-hb-studios-for-the-golf-club-2019-as-ea-sports-exits/#67b19abc3815 |title=PGA Tour Partners With Video Game Developer HB Studios For 'The Golf Club 2019' As EA Sports Exits |work=forbes |access-date=August 21, 2018}}

On March 29, 2021, EA announced a new golf video game was in development. The game would use the Frostbite engine and was announced as EA Sports PGA Tour. The game takes advantage of next-generation technology.
This will be through a new long-term agreement signed this year with the PGA TOUR.{{cite web |url=https://www.pgatour.com/news/2021/03/29/electronic-arts-announces-next-gen-golf-video-game-ea-sports-pga-tour.html |title=Electronic Arts announces new Next-Gen golf game: EA SPORTS PGA TOUR |publisher=pgatour.com |access-date=April 8, 2021}}
EA announced on April 7, 2021, a day before the 2021 Masters, that the Masters and its home, Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, will be playable exclusively in EA Sports PGA Tour. It would be released under the name EA Sports PGA Tour: Road to the Masters and along with the Masters event, EA Sports PGA Tour will feature the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open and the Open Championship, making it the only video game to feature all four major men's professional golf tournaments.{{cite web |url=https://www.polygon.com/2021/4/7/22371822/ea-sports-pga-tour-masters-tournament-ps5-xbox-series-x |title=EA gets exclusive rights to the Masters for its golf game |date=April 7, 2021 |publisher=polygon.com |access-date=April 8, 2021}}
Facing pressure from 2K's recent releases, EA announced further innovations would be introduced in EA Sports PGA Tour, one of which was scanning each golf course via aerial means; this was demonstrated with the Augusta National course. On May 17, 2021, a delay was announced pushing the title's release date a year later to coincide with the 2022 Masters' Tournament,{{cite web |url=https://www.polygon.com/22440408/ea-sports-pga-tour-release-date-course-list-majors |title=EA Sports PGA Tour is coming next spring |date=May 17, 2021 |publisher=polygon.com |access-date=May 21, 2021}} before removing its release date by November 2021.{{Cite web|author1=Jordan Gerblick|date=2021-11-04|title=EA Sports PGA Tour delayed indefinitely|url=https://www.gamesradar.com/ea-sports-pga-tour-delayed-indefinitely/|access-date=2022-02-01|website=gamesradar|language=en}}
On March 22, 2022, Electronic Arts announced the delay of EA Sports PGA Tour by one year to spring 2023. EA did not give a reason for the delay, nor did they announce the game's platforms;{{Cite web|author1=Owen S.

Further delays were announced on March 3, 2023, with the game releasing on the week of the Masters Tournament, with an early access release on Tuesday, April 4, and a worldwide launch on Friday, April 7, allowing the developers, EA Tiburon, to polish the game further before launch.{{cite web |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/ea-sports-pga-tour-delayed-to-masters-tournament-week |title=EA Sports PGA Tour Delayed to Masters Tournament Week |date=March 4, 2023 |publisher=IGN |access-date=March 7, 2023}}{{cite web |url=https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-pga-tour/news/mar-2023-update-on-ea-sports-pga-tour?isLocalized=true |title=Update on EA SPORTS PGA TOUR |date=March 3, 2023 |publisher=Electronic Arts |access-date=March 7, 2023}}
=Course scanning=
During development of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, in order to scan and faithfully reproduce the golf courses, the developers spent seven to ten days on each of the game's 16 courses and used a 3D laser scanner made by Leica. The developers took the equipment to each hole and placed it and did a 360-degree scan of the entire course to map the terrain of each hole with a high level of accuracy that allows the player to "play the hole and the course exactly as [they] would in real life."{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/espn/thelife/videogames/news/story?id=4059603 |title='Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10': Terrain is the Game |date=April 10, 2009 |publisher=ESPN |access-date=February 26, 2023}}{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/espn/thelife/videogames/news/story%3Fid%3D4059603 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230309093754/https://www.espn.com/espn/thelife/videogames/news/story%3Fid%3D4059603 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2023-03-09 |title='Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10': Terrain is the Game |date=April 10, 2009 |publisher=ESPN |access-date=March 9, 2023}}
The development of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 saw the usage of a new state-of-the-art laser scanning technology that took 10 days at Augusta National Golf Club to laser scan every hole in the game, allowing for significantly higher detail than in the previous titles.{{cite web |url=https://www.geoweeknews.com/news/new-ea-sports-golf-game-touts-laser-scanning |title=New EA Sports golf game touts laser scanning |date=January 11, 2011 |publisher=geoweeknews |access-date=February 26, 2023}}{{cite web |url=https://www.geoweeknews.com/news/new-ea-sports-golf-game-touts-laser-scanning |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230227000906/https://www.geoweeknews.com/news/new-ea-sports-golf-game-touts-laser-scanning |url-status=dead |archive-date=2023-02-27 |title=New EA Sports golf game touts laser scanning |date=January 11, 2011 |publisher=geoweeknews |access-date=February 26, 2023}}
The development of EA Sports PGA Tour saw the usage of custom LiDAR helicopter flights over each of the game's courses, flying scans at lower altitudes and slower speeds to achieve a greater density of data points and a higher level of realism than scans from public sources. And they meticulously mapped the courses, using advanced technologies such as photogrammetry, drone technology and GPS for high accuracy.{{cite web |url=https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-pga-tour/news/ea-sports-pga-tour-courses-overview?isLocalized=true |title=EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR™ Courses Overview |date=February 21, 2023 |publisher=Electronic Arts |access-date=February 26, 2023}}{{cite web |url=https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-pga-tour/news/ea-sports-pga-tour-courses-overview%3FisLocalized%3Dtrue |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230226223315/https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-pga-tour/news/ea-sports-pga-tour-courses-overview%3FisLocalized%3Dtrue |url-status=dead |archive-date=2023-02-26 |title=EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR™ Courses Overview |date=February 21, 2023 |publisher=Electronic Arts |access-date=February 26, 2023}}
