PGA Tour 2K25 Driver Tips & Tricks

The first place to start when looking to improve your driving distance in PGA Tour 2K25 is to upgrade the Power stat of your MyCareer pro. Alongside influencing the height and the spin generated by a shot, the power also impacts how far you’re able to hit the ball.

Earning PGA Tour 2K25 VC and spending it on the Power stat is the simplest method of hitting the tee shots further. The higher the Power stat, the further your drives will go.

Keep any eye on which Locker Codes are available to redeem for an opportunity to earn some additional VC to improve the Power stat as early as possible.

The Power Drive Skill

For maximum distance, the Power Drive skill is one particular skill you’ll want to achieve if you’re looking to make it over 300 yards consistently. Available at the very top of the Tee Skills tree adds distance off the tee at the cost of forgiveness.

Below are the requirements needed to unlock the Power Drive skill:

  • Unlock the previous skill
  • Have the Powerhouse Archetype equipped
  • Have an overall rating of at least 85

The skill isn’t something that’s available during the early stages of a MyCareer save. However, it’s one skill that you’ll want to add to your repertoire as fast as possible. For par three and par four holes, the skill enables you to get close to the hole with ease.

Add Some Topspin

Another useful technique to generate some extra driving distance doesn’t involve upgrading any stats. Instead, it involves applying some spin to the ball. Before starting a swing, you can add topspin by using the True Shot indicator.

Drag the spin indicator all the way to the top. You’ll see that the carry distance will decrease, but don’t be alarmed by this. Despite the carry distance being shorter without any topspin applied, the shot will cause the ball to roll further down the fairway after making impact with the ground. Thanks to the addition of topspin, the total distance of the tee shot will be longer.

By following these tips, your drives in PGA Tour 2K25 are guaranteed to be much longer. With the additional distance, it’s much easier to reach the green in fewer shots, resulting in lower scores and giving you the best chance of topping the leaderboard.
