PGA Tour Patch Notes 12.0: Jack Nicklaus

Legendary Golfer Nicklaus becomes the first playable golfer to be added to the roster. The Major winner has seen and done it all. To celebrate his achievements, the Season 11 Pro Pass will have plenty of special cosmetics available for the players. Nicklaus will be available across different game modes, and the developers have also added his unique swing.

PGA Tour Patch Notes 12.0: New Courses

The new update also adds four new courses based on real-life grounds. All four courses have been meticulously designed so that they retain their authenticity from how they appear in reality. Here are all four courses:

  • Valhalla Golf Course, Louisville
  • Pinehurst No. 2
  • Royal Troon, Scotland
  • Augusta Par 3 Course

For now, players can play on these courses in quick matches and private matches. They’re also going to be available in online modes and tournaments on a rotational basis.
