Sure thing, here it goes:

So, PGA Tour 2K25 is back, huh? And this time, it’s rolling out something they’re calling Season 2 on May 14. But what’s really got me intrigued is this new “Challenges mode.” I mean, bite-sized golf contests? Sign me up… or not. Depends on the day, really. They say it’s about pushing your skills to the limit—whatever that means. Honestly, sometimes I just wing it on the course.
Oh, and here’s a fun tidbit—Season 2 is adding the Old Course at St Andrews Links. Now that’s a name the golf nerds (affectionately said, I swear) will probably start drooling over. They’re even throwing in a new shot type and shaking up the Ranked Ladders. It sounds like a lot, but who knows? Maybe it’ll be a blast.
And — get this — you can still work on snagging those Season 1 rewards. So, if you’re like me and got a bit lazy last season, there’s hope yet.
Let’s chat about this new mode, though. Challenges. Yeah, they say it’s like “Choose Your Own Adventure.” Remember those books? They totally had goblins and wizards, though, not golf clubs. Anyway, you pick your path, grab some rewards, and jump into these mini golf stories. Is it real golf? Kinda. It’s got this arcade twist, which is fine by me because sometimes I just need a break from worrying about real-life sand traps.
The challenges have funky features, like making you thread shots through floating rings or landing in specific fairway spots. It’s like they’re daring you to mess up in the most interesting ways possible.
They also tossed in Trials and Spotlight Challenges. Trials sound intense, but Spotlight Challenges let you relive iconic golf moments. Like, are we talking moments as legendary as pretending you’re Tiger Woods when you’re nine in the backyard? Maybe not. But you might recreate Max Homa’s shots or navigate a Technical Skills Challenge.
Then there’s the Charles Schwab Challenge. They cooked up an all-new three-hole course for this one. It starts with a Par 4—you’ve got to tackle a ravine right off the bat. If you can manage that, the next is a par 3 over a river, but if you mess up, aim for a bunker. Cheery thought, right? The last hole’s a par 5 dogleg left. So, load up your can-do attitude, I guess.
But wait, more stuff is coming in Season 2! Like, the Old Course at St Andrews Links finally joins the game. That should set some purists’ hearts aflutter. Plus, there’s a new shot—The Long Flop. Yep, someone got paid to invent that name. Supposedly, it’s got more power than the regular flop shot and just might save your game’s dignity if you just missed the spot.
Oh, and yeah, it drops on Xbox Series X|S from May 14. Think I’ll remember to check it out? Maybe… might get distracted by an actual golf game on TV though. You could read more details yourself, but hey, maybe I’ve already done the heavy lifting for you.
So, there you have it. A new way to ruin friendships over golf, without even getting off the couch. Enjoy the chaos!
