Each of the five archetypes in PGA Tour 2K25 offer different stat boosts and have different weaknesses. Those five archetypes are:

Archetype	Strengths & Weaknesses
Magician	The Magician archetype ensures you can hit well from poor lies or from the rough. It also means the game is more forgiving with hook and slice shots, and is more forgiving between your backswing and downswing. The Magician Skill is Recovery, and is unlocked at 85 overall rating.
Powerhouse	As Powerhouse, you can drive from the tee further, and the game is more forgiving in swing power percentage at the end of your swing. The Powerhouse Skill is Power Drive in the Tee Skill Tree.
Sculptor	As Sculptor, your bend or spin on shots is affected less by your swing quality. You can shape shots more easily, your natural draw or fade impact is lower, and you have increased power. The Sculptor Skill is Knockdown and is in the Approach skill tree.
Technician	As Technician, it is easier to get good swing quality, and the game is more forgiving on poor swing path. The exclusice skill is Pick in the Bunker Tree.
Greenskeeper	Finally, a Greenskeeper is Good on the green in every aspect, but they have lower power and the ability to shape shots. Their Skill is Green Reader in the Green skill tree.

When you unlock an Archetype Skill, you also unlock it for all other archetypes.

As for which you should choose, it depends on what you struggle most with when playing. You should jump into a quick match and test out the PGA Tour 2K25 gameplay, to see what you find difficult.

The Powerhouse archetype is always good, as everyone wants to hit the ball hard and far. Also, Technician is useful early on in the game when stats are low and you need some help hitting the ball straight. Once you’re levelled up, the archetype’s boost is less impactful.
