EA Sports PGA Tour 2023: How to Unlock Skills and Shot Types Guide

You can improve your custom character in EA Sports PGA Tour 2023, and you definitely need to do so to complete some of the harder challenges in the game.

In this guide, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about unlocking new skills and shot types for your golfer!

How to Unlock Skills and Shot Types in EA Sports PGA Tour 2023

To get skills and shot types, you first need to level up your golfer. There are a total of 50 levels, with your character starting at level 1.

You get experience naturally by playing the game at all using your custom golfer, though quests and challenges give the highest amount of experience.

Every level up will give you a different amount of Skill Points which you can use in the Skills tab of the Golfer menu. Just choose the category and skill you wish to learn and confirm the Skill Point cost.

You can also unlearn skills by retraining your golfer. However, this has a heavy coin cost, so you should only do it after you’ve reached level 50!

There are 5 different categories for you to use your SP in which are as follows:

• Power – Increases your swing speed, making every shot type reach longer distances.
• Driving – Divided into Accuracy and Control. Makes you less likely to mishit and lowers the shot dispersion of Driving Shot Types.
• Approach – Divided into Accuracy, Control, and Recovery. Gives you better control over Approach Shot Types, making them more accurate and reliable.
• Short Game – Divided into Accuracy, Control, and Recovery. Improves your overall handling when using Short Game Shot Types.
• Putting – Last but not least, this will give you better accuracy and control over Putting Shot Types.

As you can see, nearly all these stats primarily relate to their respective shot types. But what are the various shot types and how do you get them? Let’s go over them next.

How to Unlock and Upgrade Shot Types

You will unlock Shot Types by leveling up your skills. Notice how some skill slots have a shield-shaped badge? These skill nodes will unlock Shot Types.

Hover your cursor over any of these skills and a small pop-up will appear telling you which Shot Types the skill will unlock. It will also tell you if there are any extra requirements, such as another skill.

Meet the requirements listed and the Shot Type will be unlocked!

You can upgrade every shot type as well. Each type has three ranks: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

Upgrading works the same as unlocking them. You just need to upgrade your skills further; the Shot Type pop-ups will tell you what stats you need for each upgrade.

Keep in mind that you don’t need to equip the shot types or anything like that. Just having them will let you use them.
