To the delight of golf fans worldwide, PGA Tour 2K25 has been officially released. Fans can finally try out one of the most anticipated sports titles of 2025, which introduced plenty of new features.
But before stepping onto the grass and picking up your golf club, you must master the PGA Tour 2K25 controls. Doing that will give you a competitive advantage over your opponents, make the game easier, and improve the gaming experience.
So, let's find out everything about the PGA Tour 2K25 controls.
PGA Tour 2K25 Controls Guide
The first thing you need to know about the PGA Tour 2K25 controls is that there are three swing input controls: Right Stick, 3 Click, and Left Stick.
The Right Stick option allows you to use the left stick to aim and the right stick to swing. It's the most popular swing input control, mainly because it feels natural, especially if you have played other golf games before.
In the Left Stick control option, you aim with the right stick and swing with the left stick. It's the exact opposite of the Right Stick option and might fit you better. So, try it out if you struggle with the Right Stick swing control.
As for the 3-Click swing input control, you use A or X, depending on your console, to set the swing power, path, and timing. It might be the best choice if you are new to golf games.
While you will still need practice to master the 3-Click swing input controls, it's easier and faster. If you are struggling with the other two swing inputs, even if you are normally good with them, try the 3-Click swing input. It can elevate your game and decrease your handicap.
Practice Makes Perfect
Like in most sports games, practice makes perfect in PGA Tour 2K25. Everything you need to know about the controls is explained above. However, it's not as simple as it seems.
While the mechanics seem simple in theory, the reality is that you will need to practice a lot to master them. This might take you 50, 100, or 10000 swings, perhaps even more.
Golf has plenty of variables, so no two shots are the same. So, you need to take all the variables into account to master your swings, and that can only be done by experiencing them.
If you are a new player, PGA Tour 2K25 can sometimes feel frustrating, and you might think it is too hard. But that's normal, so don't give up.
Hit the practice facility and work on your swing, then play some games against the AI, and you will see your swings improving. Once it clicks for you, it becomes second nature.
You will stop overthinking swings and paying extreme attention to every part of your swing mechanics because it has become automatic. Through practice, you gain the knowledge to know how to adapt to different situations and to do so in a fast and effective way.
