There is a new Masters video game coming out next year, and it looks incredible! It's called "EA Sports PGA Tour: Road To The Masters". Now I'm not a huge video game guy. However, I'm going to need someone with an Xbox or a PlayStation to invite me over so I can play this game. Finally, you don't have to be a great golfer to win The Masters Tournament. Let's be honest, 99% of us would never have a chance.

This new Masters video game almost looks like you're watching the tournament on TV. Go ahead and check out the preview here.

How cool did that look? Amen Corner looks just like it does in person. Magnolia Lane looks like you're watching live coverage on a Masters Sunday. The Hogan Bridge, the iconic signs around the course, it's all there. Honestly, I think the only thing missing is a $5 beer and an egg salad sandwich. This is the first EA Sports golf game since 2015, and they came back with a bang!

This game was announced by Augusta National Golf Club Chairman, Fred Ridley during his press conference at The Masters earlier this year. The video game will be available just in time for the 2023 Masters Tournament. It will hit stores in the Spring. I wonder if they'll have it sitting next to the Masters gnomes in the Augusta National Golf Shop?
