Rory McIlroy PGA Tour Release: 5 Things to Know Right Now

The Masters Isn't Included

As we've pushed towards the release date, we've begun to hear a lot about the game itself. And while some of those details are extremely exciting, others are extremely disappointing. We'll start with the bad release news first. 

In April, EA confirmed that Augusta National, and The Masters, would not be included in the game, a huge blow to those that were looking forward to playing one of the world's most challening courses. The reason? The company's license with Augusta National expired. 

There is a chance that the company adds it in through DLC. EA said back in April that it was exploring that option with Augusta National so it's possible that we'll see Augusta and The Masters show up in a DLC package somewhere down the road. Nothing is confirmed though.
