Stephen assisted EA in implementing authentic aspects of the women’s tour on the new game. 

“Who does the female professional golfer have on her team? What does life look like for a female professional tour? What does it look like for a male professional on tour, who’s on their team?”

Iona Stephen informed that there will be certain nuances that will make the game even better. For instance, 2019 Evian Championship winner Jin Young Ko will be a playable character in the upcoming game with incredible detailing. 

“We’re going to be announcing a lot more around this game in the coming months,” senior producer Jenny Martin said. “We’re on a fast track to get the game done by the spring [of 2022]. 

“But the fact that we have the LPGA in the game, and the fact that we’re putting effort behind some of these great tournaments, like the Evian, is really exciting for me personally, as someone who’s really loved to go to LPGA events and followed a lot of the golfers,” she added.
