Alright, let’s dive into this wild ride of a rewrite. Hang tight and let’s see where this goes:
—
Okay, so, PGA Tour 2K25 has this new thing. I mean, seriously, it’s like they’re on a mission to crank up the fun for anyone who loves golf—or even just thinks they do. Season 2 drops on May 14 with a whole bunch of stuff, and there’s this wacky new Challenges mode. I’m talking bite-sized games that test your skills in ways you didn’t even know were possible. Weirdly addictive, if you ask me.
You get regular updates, more content every season. Even if you’re knee-deep in Season 2, you can still snag those awesome Clubhouse Pass Rewards from Season 1 whenever you want. Bit of a bonus, right?
Oh, and the Old Course at St Andrews Links? Yeah, that’s a thing now. Plus, a new shot type—I’ll get to that in a bit. They’ve reset the Ranked Ladders too, but let’s be real here, I usually just end up somewhere in the middle. Guess I’ll be trying again.
Then there’s this new mode called Challenges debuting on May 14. Basically, you get thrown into these crazy gameplay moments where you have to think on your feet. It’s almost like solving puzzles that involve a lot of swinging and strategizing. And if you’re good enough—or just lucky—you get rewards. Who doesn’t love rewards, right?
These Challenges are kind of like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” game, but with more golf swings and less, I dunno, dragons? You pick your path, choose what you want, navigate the maps, and dive into these short, intense gameplay vignettes. It’s classic golf vibes mixed with a touch of arcade madness. Totally wild.
Each Challenge hands out unique objectives. Finish with an eagle, maybe? Oh, and the best part—they’ve got these funky gameplay modifiers just to keep you on your (metaphorical) toes. Like, threading a shot through some floating rings or landing smack on a target. It’s like a mind-bending mini-golf course but on steroids.
And there’s all this variety in Challenges—like recreating iconic shots from golf legends. Imagine trying Max Homa’s outrageous hole-out eagle from last year. You might just relive epic moments from places like Quail Hollow or challenge your precision with uphill putts that seem impossible but somehow aren’t. Keeps the heart racing.
They’ve also collaborated with Charles Schwab to create a fresh 3-hole course. Designed specifically for this wild mode, it’s got different pars, tricky challenges, ravines—just chaotic stuff. Seriously, I tried the first hole, and hitting the fairway felt like a win in itself. Long par 4, you’re staring at a ravine, struggling to stay on the green. Who came up with this?
And anyway, the second hole is this long, intimidating par 3. You’re literally aiming over a river, rocks threatening to spoil your shot—it’s a golf course plopped into an obstacle course. The final hole? A dogleg left par 5, teasing you to hit the perfect shot and land on the green for an eagle putt. Easier said than done.
Oh, almost forgot! The Old Course at St Andrews Links finally makes its grand entrance in Season 2. Plus, tons of new upgrades, gear, and something called the Long Flop. Imagine combining a standard flop shot with a bit more firepower. It’s like the shot no one expects but looks totally impressive. Keeps your game fresh, or so I’ve been told.
PGA Tour 2K25 drops for everyone using Xbox Series X|S on May 14. There’s a whole lot more planned, but you’ll want to see that for yourself.
And that’s about all she wrote for now. You can bet I’ll be keeping an eye on this one, even if my scorecard might not always be something to brag about…
