6. EA SPORTS Rory McIlroy PGA TOUR Pro Tour

If you haven't created a player yet you will have to do this before you start your Pro Tour. Once you've designed your player you will have to pick your bonus, this is basically the style of play that your player will use. I picked power to start off with but you can pick what you like.

The next thing you want to do is to go to 'Career History' then 'Round Type' and set it to quick rounds. By doing this you only play the important holes in stead of full 18 hole rounds. You still have to complete the 4 rounds in a tournament but it will be 4 or 5 holes as oppose to 18.

Web.com Tour Championship

This is the first event you play, it's like a qualifier to see who can qualify for a PGA tour card. Make sure you do quite well. Top 20 should be good enough but aim to win it. It took a score of -6/-7 on short rounds to win for me. If you place high enough you will unlock.

Earn your PGA TOUR card

Career Builder Challenge

This next event isn't a PGA event either but it will give you some ranking points for competing. This is held on the TPC Sawgrass course which is a very difficult to course to do well on so don't worry about winning this it is not as important. Just do your best. It was -14/-15 to win and I came 3rd.

Bioware Classic

This is an easier course to play so you should aim to win this event. On my game it was -10/-11 to win. As this is a PGA Tour event if you win you will get.

Win a PGA TOUR event

Now I chose to skip the next event, you don't have to play every event however you have to be careful with this as you want to aim to be top of the FedEx points by the end of the season and there is an achievement for being top of the EA Sports rankings a one point during the season. To view your rankings go to 'Career History' > 'Rankings'. You can look at both tables here. I would recommend looking at these often, especially the FedEx as the #1 EA Sport ranking should come naturally if you are doing well.

Arnold Palmer Invitational

This is the next event I played. You don't have to win these smaller events as there are no achievements tied to them however the more you play and the better you do the more ranking points you will accumulate. -19/-20 to win on this one.

If you won that last event you should be on around 1000 FedEx points and be around 300 to 400 ahead of second place. I would recommend that you aim to stay about this far ahead throughout the season, so you need to chose if you want to skip certain events or not but I will list all the events that I played and when there is an achievement tied to winning. Just be wary that you might do better or worse than me so might need to play more or less events than me.

At this point if you're struggling to win maybe try adjusting your gameplay style to 'Classic' or 'Arcade' or adjust your custom style to easier settings.

EA Sports Invitational

I skipped 2 events to get to this. There is an achievement tied to winning this tournament so make sure you win if not you'll have to do another season to get to this point and try again. One thing you should consider if you're struggling is setting the round type to 'Full Rounds' this will give you more chances to get a better score and it will be a lot easier to win. Obviously this takes a lot longer but what you can do is do 2 or 3 rounds on quick rounds then see where you are, if you don't think you're going to win then set the last round to full and blow away the competition.

You may or may not have noticed but you will have started to unlock better equipment. If you go to 'Equipment' then 'Optimize Clubs' it will automatically equip the best clubs that you currently have. You can do all this manually by going through all your equipment and setting it to what you want. Do that if you please but I chose to save time and just use the optimize clubs feature.

-9/-10 was about the score required to win and if you do you will bag yourself an achievement.

Win the EA SPORTS Spring Invitational

You should be way ahead in the FedEx rankings by this point.

I skipped the next 2 events and the next one I played was.

The Players Championship

You don't need to win this event but it provides some good points for the rankings. Required about -14/-15 to win this for me.

Now at this point I was seconds in both of the ranking tables so I chose to play the next small event. It is up to you if you want to or not, you don't have to play all the same events as I did.

Peach Invitational

I chose to play this and it was -11/-12 to win.

This is the second major so therefore another achievement for winning, remember to optimize your clubs before you start. This is a tough course to play so don't be afraid to set the last round or 2 to full rounds to help. It took a score of -3/-4 to win here. Good luck. If you win you should also now have reached number 1 in the EA rankings therefore double achievement! If you don't manage it this time you will in the next couple of events you win.

Win the U.S. Open

Reach #1 in EASG Rankings

I skipped all the way up to next major event which is The Open. This means there is another achievement for winning this so remember the tips from the previous majors and you shouldn't have any trouble. The course is a lot easier for this event and to be honest it should be fairly easy for you. About -13/-14 to win on this.

Win The Open Championship

Now if you have managed to get the Number 1 ranking achievement and you are way ahead in the FedEx points then I would just skip straight up to the next major which is the PGA Championship. This is what I did but if you need to play another event don't be afraid to do so as it can only help as you don't want to have to play another season.

PGA Championship

Now play this and make sure you win to earn another achievement. Took a score of about -13/-14 to win for me.

Win the PGA Championship

At this point you should only have the FedEx cup achievements left to win in Pro Tour mode. I skipped the next 2 events which were EA charity invitational and Pittsburgh Invitational.

The next 3 events are all FedEx Play Off events. This does not mean you need to play them to earn the achievement however they offer a lot of points to the winner so be wary that someone may overtake you if you don't play them. My advice would be to look at the rankings after every event just to be sure. I personally only played 1 of the Play Off events as Rory McIlroy overtook me at one point. You do not need to go into the final event leading the standings but it would guarantee you the achievement after that event. I was 2nd in the rankings but I beat the player ahead of me in the Finale so that ensured I overtook him in the rankings.

Tour Championship

This is the final event of the season and you must play and win this to get the last achievement. You will only get this if you are number 1 in the FedEx cup points after this event as well.

To get this you have to:

• Win the Tour Championship
• Be at number 1 in the FedEx rankings after the last event.

This took a score of about -15/-16 to win for me and once you have won this you will have finished Pro Tour mode.

Win the FedExCup

Now just one section left to do which is Challenge Mode.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review – On Par (PS4)

By Mark Labbe

If you’ve ever played golf, then you know that a large part of the enjoyment not only comes from the actual game, but also from the incredible beauty of the golf courses. Being able to stand on green grass looking at rolling hills, trees, and the occasional scampering animal sets golf apart from most other sports, adding in a natural aspect that simply isn’t possible in confined stadiums or indoor courts. After spending a while with Rory McIlroy PGA Tour , it’s clear that the developers have played enough golf to be able to encapsulate not only the mechanics of the game, but also the beautiful landscapes of the courses.

Golfing Mechanics

There are three different gameplay styles (Arcade, Classic, and Tour) in Rory McIlroy PGA Tour , with each one giving players a whole different type of golfing experience. The Arcade style is probably the most familiar one of the bunch, as it brings back the ability change the spin of the ball in the air. It is probably the least realistic way to play golf, but it is certainly fun to be able to change where the ball will land while the thing is still in the air. The Arcade style also allows players to zoom in to see around where the ball will land, and it makes putting a little bit easier with a putt read feature that gives a better look at the curve of the land.

The Classic style brings back the three-click controls, having players try to stop the swing meter in certain, small areas. This style is probably the easiest in terms of being able to hit perfect shots, although players are not able to add boost or spin to the ball. Finally, the Tour style gives players a more realistic golfing experience. It turns off the zoom function and the putt read feature, and players are not able to change the spin of the ball in the air. However, the ability to add spin and boost to the ball before it is hit is there, making the Tour style of gameplay the most complex and hardest to master, but also the one that best simulates actual golf.

After picking one of these gameplay styles (they can be changed at anytime), players can then choose which game mode they would like to play. Players can either take on a single course with up to four local friends, or they can do the Tour Pro Career mode, which is essentialy a career mode where players create a character and compete in tournaments to unlock new clubs and outfits for their character. Or players can compete against friends online. All of these modes offer basically the same thing — playing golf on a golf course. 

However, there is one other game mode, called Night Club Challenges. As the name suggests, players take on a bunch of golfing challenges at night on three different golf courses. There are quite a lot of challenges to play through, and each one can earn the player between one and three stars, depending on how well the player does. Some challenges ask the player to hit a ball and have it land on a certain target, while at the same time trying to avoid obstacles, and other challenges have the player trying to hit the ball through a hoop in the sky, among other things. A number of different power-ups, such as a rocket boost that allows the ball the gain altitude, even when falling, or a power-up that makes the ball instantly stick to the ground instead of rolling around help the player get through the challenges. These modes not only offer a break from simply playing a normal game of golf, but they also help to hone aiming and shooting skills.

Breathtaking Scenery

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour runs using the powerful Frostbite 3 engine, giving the game gorgeous visuals. You can see particles floating in the air, the clouds moving overhead, and the sun illuminating the entire course, making the whole thing look different depending on whether you set the time of day to the morning, midday, or evening. Thanks to the power of current-gen systems, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is easily one of the best looking sport games out on the market today — just check out the screenshot gallery below to see what I mean.

But, besides the breathtaking scenery, the Frostbite 3 engine allows for the title to see the entire golf course as a whole, rather than just as individual holes. What that means, exactly, is that areas that were previously out of bounds, resulting in you having to take a penalty, are now viable areas of play. For example, in the Boston course, I hit the ball fairly far away from the fairway, and it ended up in a bunch of bushes and leaves. Instead of losing a few strokes and having to place the ball somewhere else, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour now simply has the player hit the ball from almost anywhere it lands, meaning I had to hit it out of the bushes, which completely concealed my character and the ball, and back onto the fairway. Each course is more open, and since the whole course is now rendered as a whole, there aren’t any loading times when switching between holes.

Quality, Not Quantity

However, perhaps due to the detail that went into the visuals of each course, there is a fairly limited number of courses that are actually available to play at launch. With the pre-order DLC Scottsdale course, which, if you didn’t pre-order the game, won’t be available for a few months, there is a total of 13 courses. While it does take a while to play through each course fully, it soon becomes necessary to replay each course over and over again. Obviously, you can get drastically different results with each playthrough of a golf course, but the low number of courses still feels limited. It should be noted, however, that EA is planning on releasing free courses after the game is released.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour also has a very limited number of golfers to choose from. There are only a handful of golfers to use, and there are virtually no women golfers, barring the goofy and fictional Edna Masterson. Players have the option of making there own golfer, which they must do for Tour Pro Career, although the there aren’t too many customizable features to use. There is a small amount of hairstyles, a few different facial structures, a variety of different skin colors, a number of different unlockable outfits, and that is pretty much it. It’s pretty far from the different options available in Dragon Age: Inquisition , another EA game running on Frostbite 3, and the options just feel underwhelming. 

Despite the limited number of courses to play on and the limited number of golfers to choose from, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is still worth buying. Each course is visually breathtaking, and the various gameplay styles and game modes allow for completely different game experiences each time you play. If you’re a golf fan, or if you just want to look at gorgeous scenery, then you might want to check out Rory McIlroy PGA Tour .

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Tips and Strategies

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is available now for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and it marks a return to golfing greatness for EA Sports. With over a dozen courses available, a handful of pros from the Pro Golfers Association, and a number of other modes to play online and off, it’s got something to offer for both golf lovers and casual players alike.

Here are some tips that will help you get into the game, so you can master your swing and nail birdie after birdie…and perhaps even a few eagles as well.

Getting the Most Out of Your Swing

We’ll be covering the mechanics of the three swing systems available in the game in a later article, but, for now, we’ll talk about the basics when it comes to keeping your ball from rolling out of bounds.

First off, you’ll want to use the preview button – either Triangle or Y button, depending on your version – before every swing. Even if you think you’ve got your shot figured out, you’ll want to look further down the course for bunkers or water hazards. When you play on an easier setting, you’ll actually see a blue line that shows where the ball is going to go. Use this as a guidance tool before you smack one off the tee.

Also, keep a close eye on wind. If gusts are coming up over five miles an hour, you’re likely to see an effect on the ball’s path as it’s in the air. This, along with the distance your shot will take, enables you to adjust your aim in preview mode before hitting the ball. Use it every chance you get, even if the course looks deceptively open. You never know when it isn’t going to roll your way.

In addition, don’t forget the other tools available to you. When you go in for your back swing, you can hit the X or A button (depending on version) multiple times to add more power to your shot. This is especially useful on par 5’s, when you’re trying to get as much distance covered as possible getting to the green. You’ll still want to make adjustments, but power certainly makes all the difference.

Don’t forget your spin as well. While the ball is in the air, hold the analog stick in the direction you want the spin to go and tap the X or A button. Doing it multiple times will put a backspin, side spin or forward spin on your shot, allowing you to adjust for when it lands. This can make all the difference in getting an easier putt – or staying out of bounds.

Those are some of the basics to keep in mind, but we’ll cover them more in-depth with our swing article next week.

The Power of Putting

When you do get to the green, sometimes you’ll need to putt once or twice in order to get the ball in the hole. Now, the putting system is different from previous games, so make sure you pay attention to this.

As you first line up your putt, you’ll see a guidance line that leads to the hole. Be sure to press the Triangle or Y button to get a closer look at the terrain – sometimes, you’ll see curves or uphill/downhill changes that make a difference in the ball’s momentum. From there, line up your putt with quick adjustments.

The best thing you can do when it comes to getting proper putts is to aim your putter just where the guideline begins to break on the course. You’ll have to adjust speed along the way, but this gives you an idea of where the ball will curve after you hit it. It’s not always a guaranteed success, but, at the very least, you can get it closer to the hole so your second shot is a tap-in.

Don’t hit the ball too hard, unless you’re facing an uphill run. In that case, feel free to make an adjustment of a couple of feet on distance, and it’ll roll closer to the hole. Otherwise, it’s going to go right past it – and you could very well face an even worse putt than the one you just went through. Make sure to get the proper power going.

Coming Out of the Rough or Sand

Finally, you’re going to get in some out-of-bounds trouble every once in a while, like if you misjudge a shot or send it flying a little too fast. In this case, on the easier setting, your club will automatically be chosen for you, so that you can just aim for where you want the ball to go back on the course and swing away. Otherwise, you’ll want to find the right club for the job.

Avoid the wood clubs. These are meant for power on a smooth surface and get almost nothing done coming out of hazards. Instead, stick with your power and sand wedge, depending on how close you are to the hole. A good iron may also be used, given that the distance is right, but otherwise just stick with the smaller wedges. With these, you’ll get back on the course, where you can continue your stride towards the green. It beats leaving a divot and having your ball only go a few feet.

Good luck – and go get those aces!

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Review

Swing and a miss.

By Josiah Renaudin on July 24, 2015 at 11:06AM PDT

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is a shallow, lifeless golf game--rich in technical failings but bankrupt of interesting content. The game types are limited, the number of players and courses is laughably small, and the textures awkwardly pop in and out of view as the camera scrolls across a course. Actually swinging a club and mapping out shots feels right, but whatever goodwill is earned on the course evaporates as you pull away to discover the unimpressive Pro Career mode and the restrictive nature of even the basic Play Now feature. The fresh face on the cover and fancy new game engine can't mask the fact that Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is an undercooked debut that feels like half of a game.

It starts strong, at least, with a detailed tutorial on the various swing styles that provide you with more freedom than ever before. There are three set swing types: a basic analog stick setup where power is determined by the backswing, a more complex version where the follow-through is also taken into account, and the classic three-button press system. If none of the above suits your style, a custom swing option allows you to combine elements of each approach into a personalized pairing of preferences. You can determine if you'd like to be able to hit power shots, zoom in on the trajectory of your ball, see how the wind shapes its flight, and even closely control its spin. Whether you'd like to play Rory McIlroy PGA Tour as a sports simulation or an over-the-top arcade game, the options are there.

No matter what style you choose, taking a smooth backswing and making solid contact with the ball feels authentic, and the putting is challenging without feeling punishing. A dashed line represents the path of your ball from its place on the green to the hole, which takes into account the putt's speed and break. It takes time to correctly read greens with steep hills or sharp ridges, but watching a 20-foot putt bend from right to left and clink at the bottom of the cup is very satisfying.

Other than the lack of load screens between holes and an improved putting system, the swing selection is the only area where Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is bigger and better than what's come before it. The number of real-life courses has been more than halved, with only eight locations that golfers will actually recognize. There are four additional make-believe locations, but none of them make up for the fact that you can't experience the Masters at one of the most famous courses of all time, Augusta National. If that’s not disappointing enough, there are just 12 playable golfers--about a quarter of what previous games have trained us to expect.

Fewer golfers wouldn't be all that damning if the character creator was even passable, but what's available is one of the worst customization tools ever stuffed into a sports game. There are so few options when creating your custom golfer that it's nearly impossible to make a character that you can even pretend looks like you, unless yours happens to match one of the 11 pre-set heads or three body types provided. Instead of feeling like you're starting your own unique career on the PGA Tour, the barebones tools force you to role-play as some anonymous young golfer straight out of a stock photo.

You take this indistinct, cookie-cutter avatar through a single lower-level Web.com event, and from there, you're off to the races. There's no grand buildup, no scenes of your collegiate career, and no narrative to push you forward. You go from tournament to tournament, either competing in quick rounds where you play five or six of the most important holes per day or going through all 72 holes with the hope of becoming the world's number one golfer. But without any sort of subsidiary content to complement the tournaments--such as a story, drills, or even a schedule to outline your goals--the Pro Career can quickly devolve into an unexciting slog devoid of drama.

The only saving grace is the fact that your character raises levels, earns new clubs, and unlocks additional outfits just about every time you complete a round of 18. This sense of progression makes the gauntlet of tournaments much more palatable, as you're able to see your power, accuracy, and spin vastly improve and lead to pretty shots and even prettier scorecards worth hanging on the fridge. You don't manually add points to specific aspects of your game, but you can choose from different packages that might focus on power, accuracy, or more balanced play.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour fails to pair its solid mechanics with diverse and interesting content, and its myriad technical failings drag the otherwise picturesque courses into the dirt.

Unfortunately, the bleak only gets bleaker as you venture outside of the career, where the online community-based Country Club and popular modes like Skins, Best Ball, and Battle Golf have all been removed. Online tournaments and head-to-head play give you some reason to test your created golfer against players more savvy than the AI, but the utter lack of gameplay variety is disappointing.

If you find yourself hungry for something--anything--new to grab on to, a fresh Night Club Challenge mode is available. This extended series of challenges has you landing balls in small circles and through floating hoops to earn points, but a mid-air nitrous boost just isn't enough to make target practice drills any fun. You can earn three stars per level--similar to most popular mobile games--but the deeper you travel down the road of challenges, the less it feels like golf.

Even outside this neon-lit, objective-based playground lie moments that, again, don't feel like anything you'd find on the real PGA Tour. Sinking birdie putts as your created player often leads to a shot of him or her awkwardly busting out the robot or the sprinkler--and while I don't think golf needs to be some sacred pursuit devoid of humor, the celebrations feel completely out of place.

Additionally, the commentary sporadically mismatches its messages with what's actually taking place on-screen. Even though I sliced my ball out of bounds and into the trees at St. Andrews, both commentators talked about how unfortunate it was that I just hit it into the water--despite my ball being completely dry. After that, they mentioned how my approach shot had too much speed and not enough backspin as they watched it softly land on the back of the green and spin backward toward the front hole location. Like most other aspects of the game, the commentary is careless.

Rory McIlroy PGA Tour fails to pair its solid mechanics with diverse and interesting content, and its myriad technical failings drag the otherwise picturesque courses into the dirt. There are just too few courses and golfers to keep you playing, and even the limited game modes available don't have anywhere near the complexity or depth we've come to expect. Whether you want to call it a shank, a duff, or a whiff, all that really matters is that Rory McIlroy PGA Tour is a poor effort from a series that was looking to make a splash in its generational debut.

• Leave Blank
• Different swing styles give players more control on the course
• Putting is both challenging and rewarding
• Disappointingly small roster and course selection
• Dull career mode weighed down by paltry character creation tool
• Textures pop in and out of focus constantly
• Most of the interesting modes you’ve come to expect are absent

There is a secret path or shortcut on the Treasure Island map. To use it, aim your shot so that the ball flies into the mouth of the skull.

If you have the blue aim line available to line up your shot (which can be turned back on while playing online), you can zoom out and line it up so that the aim line goes into the hole, without going left and right. Aiming like this and taking your shot at full power will normally give you a hole-in-one, even if there is wind, because the aim line cancels out other factors.

There are three different ways to swing: Classic, Arcade, and Tour. Try each of them and pick the one that feels the most natural to you. You can use whichever one you want, as it’s just a different way to control the swing.

Classic – You press the button once to start the meter, press it again for power, and then press it a third time for accuracy.

Arcade – You pull the joystick back, hold it as a meter fills, and then push it forward, with your movement determining whether or not your shot is straight.

Tour – You pull the joystick back and then push it forward, but here the speed of which you move the joystick determines the power and speed of your shot.

You’ll use the crosshairs to shape your shot, although in Tour mode you will then need to mimic the aim indicator as well.

Rory McIlroy quit PGA Tour players' text chain after Jordan Spieth's LIV Golf remarks

R ory McIlroy "removed himself" from a PGA Tour players' group chat following comments made by Jordan Spieth about the proposed merger with the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund. Spieth replaced McIlroy on the PGA Tour Policy Board in November when the Northern Irishman quit due to frustrations with tour leadership and a desire to spend more time with his family and work on his game.

Spieth also played a role in preventing McIlroy from rejoining the policy board, reports the Mirror .

The policy board has been at the forefront of the tour's negotiations with PIF, which funds the breakaway LIV Golf. PIF and the PGA Tour agreed to a framework for a merger 11 months ago that would reunify professional golf , but there has been little progress since.

Rory McIlroy urged to rejoin PGA Tour Policy Board as Patrick Cantlay 'ruining' golf

McIlroy was keen to return to the top table after a request from 2012 US Open champion Webb Simpson, who wanted to resign his role as a player director if he could select McIlroy as his replacement. However, the Ulsterman confirmed on Wednesday that he will not be rejoining the policy board.

"I think it got pretty complicated and pretty messy, and I think with the way it happened, I think it opened up some old wounds and scar tissue from things that have happened before," McIlroy said. "There was a subset of people on the board that were maybe uncomfortable with me coming back on for some reason."

McIlroy didn't point fingers, but it's believed that Spieth, Patrick Cantlay and even Tiger Woods, despite their longstanding friendship, weren't too thrilled about the world number two's potential return to the board.

The tension between Cantlay and McIlroy is no secret, with a notorious Ryder Cup clash and McIlroy's candid remarks to the Irish Independent where he described their relationship as "average at best" and noted, "[We] don't have a ton in common and see the world quite differently."

Meanwhile, the once tight-knit relationship between Woods and McIlroy has reportedly become tense amidst the PGA Tour- LIV Golf dispute, leading to what some might call a "falling out of sorts" McIlroy and Spieth have also had their fair share of friction. They were paired with Viktor Hovland during the Players Championship's opening round in March, which saw heated debates over two penalty drops McIlroy took after his tee shots ended up in the water.

Adding to the strain, McIlroy was not impressed by Spieth's remarks a month earlier when the American suggested that the PGA Tour didn't "need" to partner with the PIF following an agreement with Strategic Sports Group, half of which has already been distributed to PGA Tour players as part of an equity scheme.

Spieth remarked: "I think the positive [of a deal with PIF] would be a unification [of PGA Tour and LIV players], but I just think it's something that is almost not even worth talking about right this second," acknowledging his new role on the board after taking over from Rory McIlroy late last year. "The idea is that we have a strategic partner that allows the PGA Tour to go forward the way that it's operating right now without anything else."

McIlroy, however, found Spieth's comments counterproductive to discussions about a potential agreement that could lead to PGA Tour and LIV Golf stars competing together more frequently. So much so, that he considered leaving a text group of PGA Tour players, as reported by Golf Digest.

The two reportedly had an hour-long conversation later to clear the air.

Regarding Spieth's remarks at the time, McIlroy expressed his concern: "My thing was if I'm the original [potential] investor that thought that they were going to get this deal done back in July, and I'm hearing a board member say that we don't really need them now, how are they going to think about that, what are they going to feel about that? ".

"They are still sitting out there with hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, that they're going to pour it into sport. And I know what Jordan was saying. But if I were PIF and I was hearing that coming from here, the day after doing this SSG deal, it wouldn't have made me too happy, I guess?"
