PGA European Tour

Review

Features five European courses and a three-click swing system with draw and fade controls.

PGA European Tour was released for the SNES in 1994 by Electronic Arts; it is the original game version, so both years are 1994.

About PGA European Tour

PGA European Tour is a golf simulation that functions as an enhanced version of its predecessor, not a direct sequel. Its content is distinctly European, featuring sixty professional golfers and five courses from that continent.

The visual presentation shows a clear advancement, with more detailed and vibrant graphics than the earlier title. Gameplay utilizes a common three-click swing mechanic, but adds a strategic layer by allowing players to pre-set draw or fade on shots, where execution quality directly influences the shot's curvature.

Beyond the standard Stroke Play mode, where total strokes are tallied, additional formats include Match Play, focused on winning individual holes, and a Skins mode that introduces a monetary stake to the same objective.
