Updated: 12/20/2025, 11:27:08 AM Wikipedia source
Everybody's Golf, formerly known as Hot Shots Golf in North America, is a series of sports video games published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The series is known for its humorous take on the game of golf, featuring cartoon-like and anime-like characters, and a realistic engine with precise ball physics. The first game in the series was released in 1997, and was developed by Camelot Software Planning. Subsequent titles were developed by Clap Hanz, until Everybody's Golf VR in 2019. Two tennis-focused spin-offs, Everybody's Tennis and Everybody's Tennis Portable, were also released. The latest title, Everybody's Golf Hot Shots, was released on 5 September 2025, and it was developed by Hyde. As of March 2017, the series had sold more than 14 million copies worldwide.
