How to Level Up Fast in PGA Tour 2K23

It won’t take any astute video game player very long to realize that leveling up can help you out a great deal in PGA Tour 2K23. The biggest reason to want to soar through the levels as quickly as possible is that you can gain a skill point every time you ascend to a new level. These skill points can unlock advantages during a round that become both better and easier to unleash as you get to the higher levels. There are also the nice level rewards of apparel, equipment, and fitting rewards to be obtained through the clubhouse pass. Those who pay for the premium pass will receive some sort of reward for every level unlocked.

How To Level Up Fast In PGA Tour 2K23

So how can you get all the way to level 50 as quickly as possible? The easiest answer is a boring one: play the game. With XP being gained through completing objectives on the course and at the end of every 18 holes you play, there’s no shortcut around grabbing your golf bag and hitting the links. That said, there are a few ways that you can get the most XP bang for your buck if you’re smart about how you spend your time within the game. Here are some methods to consider if you’re short on time with the game and want to move through levels in a hurry.

Difficulty Multiplier

Because the main way that you’ll accrue the XP needed to climb levels is through playing the game, you’ll want to ensure that you’re getting as much XP as possible per round. This largely involves finding what difficulty you’re able to handle while still putting up decent scores. If you spend some time in the difficulty settings manipulating all of the ways that you can make the game harder or easier, you’ll see that with nearly every one you toggle, the XP multiplier to your right will change.

The setting that will affect this XP multiplier the most will be the swing difficulty, as it will have the biggest impact on how precise you need to be with your input. You’ll probably want to eventually settle on either pro or master, making the leap to the latter when you start to find yourself getting scores well below par on the former. You should be able to find some less impactful aids in settings that can give you a small XP boost. Think carefully about whether you really need things like a full wind readout or even a swing meter.

Course Challenges

During every round, you’ll be made aware at the outset of holes when there’s the possibility of completing a challenge on that hole for a little bit of extra XP. These typically won’t be anything too challenging either, often consisting of hitting the green in regulation or scoring par or better on a hole with one putt or fewer. It may not seem like a big deal to collect 10 or 25 XP on a hole, but if you can complete all of the challenges presented to you, they will add up when you see your XP gains following the round. As the cherry on top of your XP sundae, you can expect a handful of VC for simply not going off the rails and invoking the stroke limit during the round.

Short And Easy Courses

While the game can be relied upon to dole out XP to you at the end of every round that you complete, there’s no stipulation about how long a course actually needs to be. You can use this to your advantage by finding community courses that have nothing but short holes. Without wanting to single any of them out and potentially have courses pulled from the game, let’s just say that a search for “XP” will yield some of the easiest and fastest courses to play that you can find. Even though these won’t get you as much XP as harder courses, despite inevitably putting up some ludicrous scores, you will be able to play through them in a flash with little to no effort. If you play these repeatedly, it will likely become tedious and mind-numbing (maybe try watching some Netflix to keep yourself entertained), but you’ll be able stack XP in a hurry.

MyCareer

If you’re looking to collect some apparel, equipment, or fittings when starting out, the best place to head is probably MyCareer. In addition to receiving XP for the rounds you play during events in your career, you can also get rewards for completing objectives, including those involving rivals and sponsors. When you’re solely seeking to improve your MyPlayer and aren’t interested in any sort of challenge, you’ll want to make some important adjustments to your MyCareer settings in order to make everything as easy as possible for you. By adjusting the opponent and conditions difficulty to very easy, you won’t be affecting the amount of XP you’ll receive for a round. However, you will make meeting any objectives that much easier by making your opponents as bad and your conditions as forgiving as possible.
