While the company hasn't released a new PGA game since 2015, EA Sports has plenty of history on the golf course. But, EA announced earlier this year that its own PGA Tour franchise would be returning in 2022. Following EA's last title, HB Studios and later 2K Sports moved into the golf gaming market. Earlier this year, the sports gaming juggernaut officially announced the upcoming release of EA Sports PGA Tour as EA Sports' official return to golf.
