With 2K securing exclusivity with Tiger Woods for its upcoming golf simulator title, Electronic Arts has managed to find a way to one-up them by making sure that the return of EA Sports PGA Tour makes it the only golf game on the market that features all four golf majors.

When it comes to golf, there are four big major PGA tournaments. There's the Masters Tournament, PGA Championship, US Open Championship, and the Open Championship. Thanks to the exclusivity deal, only EA Sports PGA Tour: Road to the Masters will feature all four events.
To say that this is Electronic Arts' response to Take-Two's recent announcement is only fitting.
For those who haven't kept up lately, Take-Two recently made a move to acquire the developers of The Golf Club franchise, HB Studios. As a result of their acquisition, Take-Two rebranded the games. They have since renamed it to PGA Tour 2K. Their latest title, PGA Tour 2K21, won the hearts of a lot of critics and fans alike.
In particular, critics loved how PGA Tour 2K21 retained the level of realism from its predecessors if not improved upon it. At the same time, fans also loved how the game added the necessary support systems to make it more accessible to players who normally don't play golf yet also managed to make the game more difficult for those who are up for a challenge.
