If we’re all still being forced to quarantine in three months, at least we’ll have a new golf video game to play.
With 12-time PGA Tour winner Justin Thomas on the cover and a roster of officially licensed pro players, courses and gear inside, PGA Tour 2K21 is currently scheduled for worldwide release on Friday, August 21, 2020. The game will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch and Stadia.
“Being chosen to be the first-ever cover athlete for the premiere PGA Tour 2K game is a tremendous honor,” said Justin Thomas via a press release. “I’m excited to join the 2K family and challenge players everywhere on the digital links.”
Fifteen licensed Tour courses were scanned with cutting-edge technology to bring your favorite tracks to life. Tired of playing the same old courses? Use the Course Designer feature with thousands of custom options.
Thomas will be joined by 11 additional PGA Tour players, each of whom will present a challenge in the game’s PGA Tour Career Mode. Players can also create and personalize their MyPLAYERs with equipment and apparel from licensed brands including: adidas, Polo Ralph Lauren, Malbon Golf, Callaway Golf, Bridgestone Golf, TaylorMade Golf and more.
The game will be anchored by broadcaster Luke Elvy and analyst Rich Beem.
Never played a golf video game before? No problem. Real-time tutorials, tips and shot suggestions, as well as Pro Vision, Distance Control, Putt Preview and other innovations make the game playable for everyone.
Can’t play an actual round with friends who live far away? Take your game to online matches, including Alt-Shot, Stroke Play, Skins and 4-Player Scramble. On top of that, Online Societies encourages players to invite their squad to hit the clubhouse and run full seasons and tournaments.
So, is it August yet?
