EA Sports PGA Tour delayed by a few months

'EA Sports PGA Tour' has been delayed slightly to allow time to add "a few finishing touches".

The latest sports video game in the franchise was due for release on March 24, but golf fans will now have to wait until April 4 for the long-awaited follow-up to 2015’s 'Rory McIlroy PGA Tour'.
