Bit of a footnote that I need to mention for any newcomers who will attempt at the Deletion Method and is having trouble getting it to work: The PARAM.SFO file that is located in the Root Folder of the Disc ("disc/BLUS31063"; obviously assume BLES01754, for those with the European build) and also the Home Subsection (home/game/BLUS31063) need to both be deleted, and PGA Tour '14 must be booted by doing a Drag and Drop of the EBOOT.bin file from disc/BLUS31063 over an open window of the emulator; what I experience if only the one in home/game/BLUS31063 is deleted and/or if I am to use that folder's EBOOT file is an interesting Kaleidoscope of Red, White, and Black lines from the Logo and the "Loading...." texture that also shows the "Installing Trophies" screen hanging indefinitely (even if you press Circle to get out, the glitched textures and initial Loading Screen Hang will persist until closing out), which is what led me to figuring out that all instances of PARAM.SFO need to be deleted, regardless of where they are for this game.
This method presently does not work with PGA Tour '13, to current knowledge, at least in the case of its Digital version (NPUB30747); wishfully this discovery will help find a similar workaround for it and the Disc build, if not influence the development of a patch that won't force us to delete PARAM.SFO due to its issues with showing '14 in the Game List, it was overdue for either or to end up Ingame and it's only fueling the research further.
