Original release notes

New TOUR Mode:
-Seasons are now 16 events long, with each event completely skippable with no penalty (unless event is in progress)
-Removed the direct scores from events, and made field more advanced. Players compete and retire, follow career arcs from professional golf history, and adapt to play
-Added rivalry status to all players, causing players you beat a lot to play worse near you and players that beat you a lot to raise crowd pulse
-Added visualizers in game to see your grouping play live
-Added 3 new events + courses (Daily Beach, Driver Texas Open, RBC Drive)

Re-worked Press Conferences:
-Press conferences look different, and trigger more on making good/bad plays
-Now the answers you pick stack, so picking fans/self/league too many times increases the reward on good plays and increases the penalty on bad plays
-More fans now reduces crowd pulse AND gives you more sponsorship opportunities

Re-worked In-game Text System:
-Now text messages are only for sponsorship opportunities unlocked by increasing fans
-Sponsorship opportunities can impact any stat and each have individual risk levels

Other stuff:
-Improved trees a lot
-Made out of bounds cooler
-Reduced vertical bounce by a lot
-Reduced penalty on "Yellow" fades/draws, increased penalty on "Red" shanks
-Made shot feedback Shot Angle, Swing Speed, and Spin much easier to understand, and updated UI to be cleaner
-Added secret hidden in-game poker to gamble in-game dollars. Can get very hard so play responsibly

Bug fixes:
-Fixed ball rolling into water breaking game
-Fixed rough shots saying "In Water"
-Lots more
