EA Sports PGA Tour Road To The Masters Video Game Revealed

Augusta National is set to make its long-awaited return to the video game sphere in the upcoming EA Sports PGA Tour game.

The recently-announced game, titled 'EA Sports PGA Tour Road to the Masters' will be releasing ahead of the 2022 Masters.

Gamers will be able to play the Masters course for the first time since Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters, released in 2011.

EA Sports is billing the game as: "Featuring a cover as breathtaking as the azaleas of Augusta National. EA Sports PGA Tour is the exclusive home of all four majors including the Masters Tournament, the PGA Championship, U.S. Open Championship, and The Open Championship."

"We have again partnered with EA Sports in their return to the golf world," Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley said ahead of the 2021 Masters.

"We believe the attention to detail surrounding the course and our traditions will be world class and will provide new and current fans around the globe with a fun and interactive way to look at Augusta National.

"The Road to the Masters is scheduled for release ahead of the tournament next year.

"All proceeds to Augusta National will be contributed to The Masters Tournament Foundation and our work to grow the game both here in the US and around the world."
