There’s no shortage of golf games on the Nintendo Switch, but for the most part they’re all cartoons with timeless physics and gameplay. It’s great to see that there will soon be a realistic golf simulator from the pros on 2K! The PGA Tour 2K21 will be published on the 21st. August 2020 via eShop for the Switch. For more information, see the official press release below!

OFFICIAL CONFESSION:

2K announced today, via a long drive, that PGA TOUR® 2K21, the next officially licensed golf simulation video game, is now available worldwide on Friday the 21st. Released in August 2020 for the PlayStation®4, the family of Xbox One devices, the Xbox One X and Windows PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch™* and Stadia. Featuring PGA TOUR pro Justin Thomas as a cover athlete, PGA TOUR 2K21 announces the return of missing golf video game enthusiasts. Developed by HB Studios, the studio behind Golf Club 2019 with the PGA TOUR, PGA TOUR 2K21 marks the evolution of the golf club franchise and will feature 15 licensed PGA TOUR courses, each scanned with the latest technology to bring the fairways, greens, bunkers, trees, lakes and ponds to life. Players can also cheat on their own greens and fairways with thousands of custom options from the course designer. Fans can now reserve their time by pre-ordering PGA TOUR 2K21 at participating retailers.

To be selected as the first athlete on the cover of the PGA TOUR 2K game is a great honor, said Justin Thomas, 2017 FedExCup champion, PGA Championship winner and former No. 1 in the official World Golf Ranking. I can’t wait to join the 2K family and challenge gamers around the world through digital channels.

Thomas will be joined by 11 other PGA TOUR professionals, each of whom will challenge PGA TOUR players in career mode and fight for the FedExCup title. Players can also create and customize their MyPLAYER with equipment and apparel from licensed brands such as adidas, Polo Ralph Lauren, Malbon Golf, Callaway Golf, Bridgestone Golf, TaylorMade Golf and many others.

The simulation of the PGA TOUR 2K21 is complemented by a TV-like presentation with modern graphics, dynamic scenes and a smooth playback system. All of this is accompanied by commentary from noted presenter Luke Alvey and analyst Rich Beam.

As the world leader in sports simulation, 2K is the ideal partner to launch the new PGA TOUR 2K video game series and bring the PGA TOUR experience to new players of all ages, said Len Brown, general counsel and executive vice president of PGA TOUR licensing. We are excited about the future of franchising, starting with the PGA TOUR 2K21.

Golf is more connected than ever, with celebrities, athletes and musicians playing every day and sharing their experiences on social media, according to Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K. Our goal is to create the most authentic golf simulation experience, and HB Studios brings that authenticity to PGA TOUR 2K21, which is a true 2K game in every way, including realism, depth, and fun that appeals to both golf enthusiasts and casual golfers.

The PGA TOUR 2K21 is designed for players of all levels. Beginners can enjoy live tutorials, tips and shot suggestions, while veterans can master their game with Pro Vision, Distance Control, Putt Preview and other innovations. Social gaming is at the heart of the game, as players can connect with their friends in local and online matches, including shootouts, attacks, skins and quadruple battles. In addition, online communities will encourage players to invite their team to join the club and host entire seasons and tournaments with their own rules and entry requirements, as well as handicap and event settings.

As part of a partnership between 2K and lifestyle sports brand adidas, players who pre-order the PGA TOUR 2K21 will receive a 2K/adidas CODECHAOS MyPLAYER package, which includes adidas CODECHAOS BOA® golf shoes and custom 2K/adidas apparel, including a polo shirt, Ultimate365 pants and a tour hat designed by adidas Golf exclusively for the PGA TOUR 2K21. Players who purchase the deluxe digital edition of PGA TOUR 2K21 will receive a 2K/adidas CODECHAOS MyPLAYER pack, as well as a Golden Touch pack with a gold stake and driver, and a 2300 VC pack that unlocks in-game cosmetic items**.

PGA TOUR 2K21 is rated E by all ESRBs. For more information on PGA TOUR 2K21 and 2K, visit PGATOUR2K21.com, become a fan on Facebook, follow the game on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #PGATOUR2K21 or subscribe on YouTube.
