    EA Sports today officially announced a new PGA Tour game is on the way however few details were provided beyond that.

That differentiates from now rival PGA Tour 2K which has built into its design that all golfers are equal and only equipment alters performance. That's why the latest game in that series wouldn't let you even see the pros play outside of near the greens through highlights let alone have them be con...

Additionally it was announced that developer HB Studios has been acquired by ...

    The fourth entry in the series previously known as The Golf Club is certain to get increased exposure due to the rebranding to PGA Tour 2K21 and the marketing might provided by publisher 2K Sports. Overlooked by some and arguably underrated in the past by others, this latest iteration won't seem dramatically different to those who are familiar with The Golf Club but does deliver a more welcoming experience for newcomers and those who may not find themselves improving at a rapid pace.

Based on what has been shown in the very limited reveal it appears that PGA Tour 2K21 will be out this summer rather than be held to coincide with the (possible) rel...

It ended up winning the PCA for 'Best New/Non-Annual Sports Game' of the Year. The licensing aspect was specifically addressed with its follow-up The Golf Club 2019 that followed last year by introducing the PGA Tour and several authentic co...
