New Experience Combines Fast-Paced Challenges with Real PGA TOUR
Players and Courses
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Today Electronic
Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) officially launched EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR®
King of the Course for mobile devices. The free-to-play game offers
a fresh and unique blend of arcade-style gameplay with real PGA TOUR
pros and courses, as players strive to become the King of the Course. EA
SPORTS PGA TOUR King of the Course is available for download now on
the App
Store and Google
Play.
EA SPORTS PGA TOUR King of the Course offers up extremely fun
swipe-swing and swipe shot-shaping controls that brings an intuitive
feel to golf on your mobile device. The game offers lightning-fast,
enjoyable challenges that allow players to get a quick golf fix whenever
they like. In one level you may be attempting to precisely place a shot
on the famous and tricky island green at the 17th hole of TPC
Sawgrass, while in the next you could be facing off against a PGA TOUR
pro such as Bubba Watson or Ian Poulter in a boss battle at St. Andrews.
Players have a chance to even the odds on tough challenges, as you can
utilize boosts like a magnet that pulls the ball toward the pin or
increase the size of the hole to make it easier to drain putts or
hole-out from the fairway. All this is wrapped in a fully-integrated
social experience that allows friends to compete with one another to win
crowns and become the true King of the Course.
EA SPORTS PGA TOUR King of the Course is available now for
iPhone®, iPad®, iPod touch® and Android devices.
