Over the weekend, Electronic Arts announced that EA Sports PGA Tour, the first golf game from the publisher in 8 years, has been delayed and will no longer release this March as planned.

This is the statement as to why:

EA SPORTS PGA TOUR will now launch the week of the Masters Tournament, with an early access release on Tuesday, April 4 and worldwide launch on Friday, April 7. Creating an authentic golf experience has been our goal, and this small shift in release date allows us to add a few final touches to the game that we are very excited to deliver to all of you, including updates to some favorite courses to reflect 2023 designs.

So like most games getting delayed these days, they just wanted more time to polish and given the amount of systems in the game, I can understand why. I had the chance to check out the game earlier in the year, you can read the full preview here.

The game is coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC on April 7 for all, but for those who get the deluxe edition, early access will arrive three days before.
