Best player skills to unlock first in PGA Tour 2K23

Apart from the Fittings and Archetypes, one of the most vital aspects that determines your golfer's gameplay style is the Skills. As the name suggests, unlocking a particular skill allows players to gain special abilities that will mold their characters in a direction. For example, if you get the TrailBlazer skill, all of your shots will receive a swing path boost. Unlike other feature perks available through in-game currency or changing preferences, you can only unlock/upgrade a skill by using the skill points.

Always try to select your skill depending on your weakness and shortcomings. For example, if you struggle in putting, try to unlock the Short Stuff Skill to receive an extra boost while aiming for your hole.

Best Player Skills in PGA Tour 2K23

• Off Grid: Most new players often struggle after their first shot, as your ball mostly like would have ended in a Rough. This is where the Off Grid skill comes in handy. It provides an angle boost to any regular shot from a Heavy Rough area, allowing players to gain more distance. We recommend upgrading every tier for the ability to get the full benefit.
• Short Stuff: Putting can be a menacing task for new players who may not be able to judge the correct speed/swing control for the final shot. Using the Short Stuff ability allows players to gain a tiny boost within the putting range, enabling them to worry less about the power and focus more on the direction. Try to upgrade at least two tiers of this available upgrade.
• Too Breezy: A fairway stretch is a challenging arena for amateur players. To counter that, you can equip the Too Breezy skill. It helps players gain a flight boost from any part of the fairway, even against high headwinds speeding up to 15mph. Upgrade at least two tiers to the skill.
• Aero Dynamics: Aero Dynamics is a valuable skill that will help players having a horrible time with their initial shot. The ability gives a flight boost to any tee shots against headwinds speeding up to 15mph. It is very crucial to upgrade all three tiers in the skill ring.

Remember, you can equip these skills on any archetype.
