Alright, golf fans and button mashers, PGA Tour 2K25 is looking to shake things up with Season 2, and this time they’re bringing a brand-new Challenges Mode to the green, so let’s see if it will make you throw your club! The update tees off on May 14, and it’s here to shake up the usual slow-paced grind with faster, skill-based content—and yes, you can still dress ridiculously stylish while doing it.
