Quick Links
While there are standard skills to unlock using skill points that are earned by playing through your MyCareer seasons inPGA Tour 2K25, you’re able to also use VC to increase your stats. By increasing those stats, you will make it easier to hit the ball where you want it to go, getting better scores as a result.
However, some stats are more useful than others, particularly early on in the game. Therefore, it’s best to focus on spending your hard earned VC on certain stats to boost them as much as you can.

Best Stats To Upgrade
One main thing to note before you decide on what stats to upgrade: it somewhatdepends on what archetype you choosebefore starting your MyCareer journey.
If you decided to be a Powerhouse, your power stat will already be high, and your putting skills will be good if you’re a Greenskeeper. Therefore, you won’t need to upgrade certain stats if they’re already high.
Therefore, we’ll go over the most important stats in the game -the ones you should ensure are as high as they can bewhile you’re learning the game.
The technical stats in the game will also be a lot more important if you play on the higher difficulties, such as Pro or higher.
What It Does
Swing Path
Improves your push and pull forgiveness, ensuring shots don’t go wildly left or right when your swing isn’t perfect.
Rhythm
Improves timing forgiveness from transition to contact, ensuring you hit the ball solidly, hitting it further.
Contact
The higher the stat, the better your hook and slice forgiveness is.
Recovery
Increasing the stat ensures you’re able to hit shots out of bunkers and heavy rough will less error.
Transition
Improves your backswing to downswing forgiveness, keeping your swing path more consistent.
While it’s smart to focus on those stats,you shouldn’t ignore all the others. It’s no use getting to the green quickly if you can’t putt well at all.
Different stats have different max levels, depending on archetype you choose. Some will have a max of 70, but some will be nearer 100.
