EA Sports PGA Tour Steam Deck Performance Review

EA Sports PGA Tour is a good golf game, but does it run well on the Steam Deck with good performance or is it a miss?

Franz Christian Irorita

EA Sports PGA Tour beats PGA Tour 2K23 in many aspects , but is this a game you can play while on the golf course? Let's see if this game plays well on the Steam Deck, and if it does, what are the recommended settings to use for good performance?

EA Sports PGA Tour Steam Deck Performance: Buggy

At least, based on our experience playing the game on the Steam Deck, EA Sports PGA Tour runs horribly on the handheld PC. It also makes the fan very noisy. With that said, you can play the game for about thirty minutes to an hour before things get wonky and buggy, at which point the game would sometimes crash or start developing graphical bugs. In our game, sometimes the foliage would go crazy and fill the screen with tearing. The game's horrendous and slow UI is further worsened on the Steam Deck. Sometimes, the game would just refuse to proceed. Worse, EA's launcher would even get in the way sometimes and would just refuse to let you launch the game. However, we've also seen others saying that the game runs better on their Steam Deck than ours. So, mileage might vary.

One thing is for sure, though. Just looking through the Steam Store Page for the game will clue you in on the game's messy state on PC. If you've read our EA Sports PGA Tour Review , you'd know that the game is actually enjoyable, albeit a bit sluggish in many parts. Your best bet would be to leave this game at home and dish it out on consoles instead.

EA Sports PGA Tour Steam Deck Recommended Settings

But if you're still determined to play the game on the Steam Deck so that you can take the game with you around – probably so that you can play golf on your flight or something, here are the settings we've had the best luck on – the build that lowers the risk of bugs and glitches and would let us play for about an hour before all the performance shenanigans actually start happening:

• Dynamic Resolution: On
• 3D Grass: Off
• Terrain Quality: Low
• Environmental Quality: Low
• Crowd Quality: Low
• Shadow Quality: Medium
• Texture Quality: Medium
• Antialiasing: TAA
• Motion Blur: Off
• Ambient Occlusion: Off
• Depth of Field: High
• Advanced Hair: Off

Of course, there are always other things that you can do to improve the performance of your Steam Deck – ranging from hardware modifications to software upgrades. Simply updating your Proton Drivers to the latest version may even do the trick for your system. But as far as our experience is concerned, even with the settings set as they are above, we've got no luck in acing the hole on this one.

2024 Masters TV schedule, coverage, live stream, channel, how to watch streaming online, golf tee times

How to watch every memorable moment of the 2024 masters on tv or streaming live.

The most wonderful time of the golf season reaches its conclusion Sunday as the beauty of April surrounds Augusta National Golf Club. The 2024 Masters started as a star-studded affair with a loaded field featuring the best golfers in the world and Scottie Scheffler entering as the favorite. Scheffler held that same position entering Round 4 and has only increased his advantage as the Masters rolls ot a finish.

Scheffler is looking to become the 10th golfer in Masters history to win two green jackets in a three-year span, and given his level of play over the last two years, no one is doubting he can accomplish his goal. Should he do so, he would pick up a $3.6 million winner's check out of a record  2024 Masters prize money allotment -- a $20 million purse .

While five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods set a new record at Augusta National by making the weekend in his 24th consecutive playing of the tournament, he completely ejected on Saturday with his worst score in a major championship round. Tiger rebounded Sunday while playing his 100th round at Augusta National  but nevertheless signed for a 16 over, his worst score to par at a major and the second-worst round overall across his professional career. (At least he wasn't among the major stars who missed the cut .)

Be sure to follow Masters live leaderboard coverage throughout the final round on Sunday for scores, analysis and highlights. It's a perfect second-screen complement to the Masters viewing experience provided to you by CBS.

While attending the Masters is a dream for many, simply being able to watch golf on the grandest stage of them all is an incredible treat each year, and we here at CBS Sports are thrilled to bring you wall-to-wall coverage of the Masters throughout this week.

CBS Sports offers extensive, week-long coverage across all its platforms with its traditional 18-hole broadcast coverage beginning with the third round on Saturday and final-round action on Sunday. Jim Nantz, in his 39th consecutive year covering the Masters, serves as host for the 37th time. 2008 Masters champion Trevor Immelman joins Nantz as the lead analyst at the Masters for the second time. Nantz and Immelman link up with CBS Sports' incredible golf team, including on-course reporter Dottie Pepper and the legendary Verne Lundquist, who will be calling his final Masters.

Enough talking about it. Here's how you can watch as much Masters as possible on Sunday. Be sure to stick with CBS Sports for live coverage throughout and download the CBS Sports app  to watch Masters Live on your mobile device.

Before the Masters starts Thursday, there was one more tradition unlike any other to enjoy: Wednesday's Par 3 Contest.

Rickie Fowler carded 5-under 22 to win the Par 3 Contest. Fowler finished two strokes clear of Sepp Straka, J.T. Poston and amateur Santiago de la Fuente.

The Par 3 Contest was contested Wednesday, as per tradition, at Augusta National's nine-hole par-3 layout just a stone's throw from the tournament course. Players signed up to compete in groupings of up to three players, with several spouses and children also enjoying the action inside the ropes – caddying and sometimes even hitting a few shots.

In addition to Fowler's glittering crystal bowl for winning the Par 3 Contest, five players also earned hardware for recording holes-in-one Wednesday. Luke List recorded the day's first ace, followed by Gary Woodland, Sepp Straka, Lucas Glover and Viktor Hovland.

No player has won the Par 3 Contest and the green jacket in the same year, but who's to say this year can't be the first? Fowler will strive to break that streak amidst the loblolly pines.

Read below for a capsule look of Wednesday's aces and memorable moments at the Masters Par 3 Contest, a tradition unlike any other that precedes a tradition unlike any other.

4:19 p.m.: The cup is filling up at the 141-yard sixth, the latest magic trick coming at the hands of Viktor Hovland.

The Norwegian cards Wednesday's third ace at No. 6, the day's fifth hole-in-one overall. Hovland's ball lands on the front of the green and takes a couple hops before grabbing and spinning back toward the hole; it trickles in with sublime pace. Hovland raises his hands with a mischevious smile as the patrons roar in appreciation. Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is on the scene, clapping in appreciation as well.

Hovland isn't keeping an official score, but the moment will remain etched in time nonetheless. Rickie Fowler (5 under) maintains the clubhouse lead that he has held for some three hours.

3:27 p.m.: Lucas Glover makes Wednesday's first ace at No. 7, the day's fourth hole-in-one overall. Glover's tee shot lands on the green's back-right portion, some 50 feet from the hole, but it carries plenty of zip and releases all the way back into the hole. The Clemson alum throws his hands in the air and high-fives his playing partners Brian Harman and Harris English, along with family on the scene.

3:20 p.m.: Nearly two hours after posting 5-under 22, Rickie Fowler maintains the clubhouse lead at the Par 3 Contest. Sepp Straka and J.T. Poston share second place in the clubhouse at 3 under, with Matt Fitzpatrick (through 7) and Sungjae Im (through 6) still on the course at 3 under.

2:27 p.m.: Austria's Sepp Straka makes an ace at the 142-yard fifth, the day's third hole-in-one overall (the first two coming at No. 6). The ball lands just a few feet past the hole and spins in; Straka leaps into the air as the ball drops into the cup.

2:20 p.m.: After Gary Woodland finds the water on the eighth hole, leading to a triple bogey, Rickie Fowler (5 under) has assumed a three-stroke lead over Woodland and Austin Eckroat.

Woodland's son Jaxson drains a 12-foot birdie from just off the green's front edge at No. 9, followed by a raucous family celebration. It means Woodland's score won't be official, but hearts are warm across the board.

1:40 p.m.: Gary Woodland records the day's second ace (both on the 140-yard, par-3 sixth hole); his tee shot lands roughly 30 feet long-right of the flag and spins back softly, dripping in the hole with perfect pace. It marks Woodland's first ace at the Par 3 Contest. He's now 5 under through six holes, co-leader with Rickie Fowler (in the clubhouse).

1:30 p.m.: Rickie Fowler makes an 8-foot birdie at the ninth to post 5-under 22. He's the leader in the clubhouse thus far.

1:15 p.m.: Scottie Scheffler is underway at the Par 3 Contest, with his sister Sara on the bag, dialing in yardages amidst back-and-forth with the broadcast crew.

Scheffler's wife Meredith is not on-site this week, as she is "a few weeks" from the due date for their first child. "Meredith's resting up," Scheffler said. "We're a few weeks away, so we could not get the OK from the doctors."

Were Meredith to enter labor during the Masters, Scheffler would leave immediately, he said Wednesday, regardless of his leaderboard position. "That is extremely factual; I will be out of here," he said. "I think first child wins, over many things in my life."

1:05 p.m.: Local hero Luke List makes the first ace of the Par 3 Contest. The Augusta resident spins it back and in at the 140-yard sixth hole.

12:50 p.m.: Gary Woodland is joined at the Par 3 Contest by his three kids, Jaxson, Maddox and Lennox. It's an emotional scene for Woodland, who underwent brain surgery last September to remove a lesion, which was situated on a tract that caused fear. "I was very fear-driven every day, mostly around death," he said in January.

Now he's playing the Masters, and the journey isn't lost on him. Far from it. "This is what it's all about," Woodland said on the first tee at the Par 3 Contest. "This is what the fight was for."

Masters 2024: Prize money payouts at Augusta National

I t says something about what it means to compete in the Masters that players aren’t thinking twice about the fact they have no idea what the prize money payouts were this week at Augusta National before teeing off in the opening round. Club officials don’t officially announce the purse until after a cut is made in the tournament. Frankly, the chance to win a green jacket, a spot in the Champions Locker Room and a lifetime exemption into the major are enough reward to make it worth everybody’s while.

That said, the uncertainty was ended on Saturday when the club announced this year’s prize money payout. For the third straight year, the overall purse at the Masters increased, growing to $20 million with Sunday's runaway winner, Scottie Scheffler, earning $3.6 million. This brings it in line with the $20 million purses offered in the PGA Tour’s signature events as well as the $20 million paydays being played for individually on the LIV Golf circuit.

RELATED: A brief history of the Masters prize money payout

This year’s prize payout is a bump from the $18 million the Masters offered in 2023, and up from $15 million in 2022. Amazingly, too, it was only three years ago that the overall purse was just $12 million. That’s a 66-percent increase in just three years’ time.

The Masters now matches the U.S. Open as the top paying men’s major championship, with the USGA also paying $20 million in prize money during last year’s championship at LACC. The PGA Championship bumped up its purse last year at Oak Hill to $17.5 million and the Open Championship paid $16.5 million at Royal Liverpool in 2023. All the majors are currently dwarfed by the Players Championship, which paid out $25 million in March with winner Scottie Scheffler earning $4.5 million.

Below is how much will be paid out to everybody who made the cut this week at Augusta National.
