EA Sports PGA Tour: How to Play Multiplayer with One Controller

EA Sports PGA Tour, the golf game that keeps you entertained without leaving the comfort of your home. If you’re like most gamers, chances are, you might only have one controller at home. This can make gaming while friends are over a challenge and something hard to solve last minute. 

Fortunately, EA Sports PGA Tour allows you to play multiplayer with a single controller. Below, you’ll find a step-by-step guide on how to play multiplayer in Road to the Masters. This includes Prima Games listing all game modes you and your buddies can play in the quick play mode and discussing if you need an internet connection. 

Let’s get out of the bunker and into the cup with this one…

Select the EA Sports PGA Tour Mode: Quick Play

Select the quick-play game mode from the list of game modes on the main menu. You’ll get options to select in-game game modes from there on, which we’ll explore later in the post.

Once you’ve selected your preferred option, proceed to choose the golf course and the number of holes or rounds you’d like to play for the match. You can choose all 18, the first 9, the last 9, or customize your entire matchup. 

Choose Your Golfer/Golfers

Select your first golfer from the list of Pros and self-made Pros in the game. After pressing X, the next option will display the selected golfer and more options. One of the options will be the tab “Add Player.” Click on the add player tab and select “Add Local User” from the small pop-up menu. 

Once you’ve picked add a local user, you’ll be taken back to the golfer selection screen and can choose your next Pro. Depending on how many of you want to play, you can choose up to four golfers to play a round of golf. Repeat these steps to add a local user until all four slots are filled, as in the image below.
