EA Sports PGA Tour PS5 Platinum Guide

EA Sports PGA Tour

PS5

Start the EA Sports PGA Tour platinum with two checks. Open Tournaments to finish a timed online event, then try the H2H queue for a win. The four majors and FedExCup live in the Career schedule, which is single-player but uses EA services. Save the technical 18-hole objectives for Quick Play, where you can choose the course and conditions.

PS5 base list for EA Sports PGA Tour released in 2023: connected Career, Tournaments, H2H and Quick Play.

  • Difficulty: No global threshold. Career lets you lower AI scoring difficulty.
  • Career: Requires an EA connection; look for the TOUR Championship at the end of the playoffs.
  • Online: Complete a tournament, finish an H2H game and win an H2H game. Multiplayer requires PS Plus.

Complete an open tournament and an H2H game

Open Tournaments and select an online event that is accepting entries. If a no-entry-fee daily event is available, start there: finish every hole and confirm the result was accepted. No win is needed. Next, choose an H2H game in Online or Competitive and finish it; a win is the separate Victory Lap requirement. A tournament leaderboard result cannot replace that win.

  • Check availability, recorded results and trophies before investing time in Career.

Open the Career calendar by making the cut

Create your golfer and pick an early event to make the cut. Check the cut line after the first two rounds and play into the final rounds. To reduce the workload, use the quick format for ordinary events while keeping one full round under your control for majors, THE PLAYERS and the playoffs. Spend skill points earned in rounds to make approaches and drives more consistent.

  • Aim for the first cut and win, then confirm THE PLAYERS is available.

Mark the five tournaments and the FedExCup finale

Find THE PLAYERS Championship, Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open and Open Championship on the schedule. Each requires winning the event rather than setting a personal best round. Then check your playoff standing and play through the TOUR Championship: winning the final event is the documented route to The Ultimate Prize. If you miss a major, look for it the next season.

  • Keep one check per event win and one for the final result.

Combine 59 strokes and a bogey-free round

In Quick Play choose Stroke Play and all 18 holes. Teeth of the Dog from the red tees with low wind is a documented setup; use a pro whose distances you can control. Count total strokes, since 59 does not represent the same score relative to par on every course. Even if you go under 59, keep bogeys off the card to earn both trophies.

  • Check the scorecard after the eighteenth hole: 59 or better and no hole over par.

Isolate the ace, drive and long putt

Try an ace on a par three of at least 100 yards: Los Angeles Country Club’s 15th is a documented example for pairing it with Holey Moley. For the drive over 400 yards, instead try the first at Southern Hills with a strong north wind in settings and a long hitter. For the putt, start beyond 50 feet and choose a line whose break you can read.

  • Also complete a challenge from the Challenges menu for Star Power.
