While most of the stat upgrades you can make for your pro in MyCareer in PGA Tour 2K25 are bought using VC, you also need to level up to earn skill points to spend on new abilities and skills. Throughout the season, you earn XP in a few different ways.

While you earn XP by just playing the game, completing rounds, and doing well in tournaments, there are a few things you can do to boost the XP you're earning. Some of them are trickier than others, but if you combine them you'll be levelling up as quickly as possible.

Updated by Tom Hopkins on March 2, 2025: We have updated this guide with information on the max level cap in the game. The OVR rating and level max are different.

Increase The Difficulty

The first way to earn more XP in PGA Tour 2K25 is to increase the difficulty you're playing on. While playing on the new Perfect Swing difficulty will be fun and easy, you'll only earn the base amount of XP.

As you increase your difficulty, the XP multiplier applied when you complete rounds and events will be increased. For example, you'll get 1.2X XP if you play on Pro difficulty. That makes swinging more challenging, ensures you have to think carefully about the wind, and adds the influence of how poor the lie of your ball is.

To earn more XP as you play, increase the difficulty you're playing on. You just need to make sure you're doing well enough in competitions for it to be worthwhile.

Complete Training Events

They're not the most exciting events to play, but be sure to complete every training event at the start of each MyCareer week so that you're earning the most XP you can.

When you complete training events, you're awarded with an XP boost for that week that increases when you hit the higher tiers in that training event.

For example, you can get a five, ten, or 15 percent XP boost for the bronze, silver, and gold score levels. That XP boost will then be applied to the events for the remainder of that week.

Be sure to take a look at the rewards for each tier in training events, so that you know what you're aiming for.

Complete Course Challenges

The final way to level up fast in PGA Tour 2K25 is the hardest to nail down. As you play practice and tournament events, you'll be able to complete hole specific challenges for small amounts of XP.

When you're teeing off on a hole, a challenge notification will pop up in the top right of the screen. If you complete that challenge, you'll earn some bonus XP to help you level up faster.

You can't see what the hole challenges are at the start of a round. You need to wait until the specific hole begins.

Max Level Cap

The max level in PGA Tour 2K25 is 100. It will take you a while to get there, but the process will be a little faster if you follow the tips above.

The max level of a pro's overall rating is slightly different. Just like in most Ultimate Team game modes across all sports series, the max OVR rating level is 99.
