PGA Tour 2K21 marks the first official PGA Tour video game since 2015.
Golf fans and gamers have been crying out for an official PGA Tour video game and it is finally being delivered by 2K Games and HB Studios.
Gamers will create their MyPlayer and take on the challenge of earning their Korn Ferry Tour card before progressing to the main tour with the goal of lifting the FedEx Cup at the Tour Championship.
Along the way, you'll encounter 15 officially-licensed courses and be able to personalise your MyPlayer with selected apparel and clubs, featuring brands like adidas, Polo Ralph Lauren, Callaway, TaylorMade and Bridgestone.
The PGA Tour season will feature 30 tournaments and you'll earn sponsorships with brands and be faced with rivalries up against real-life PGA Tour pros.
Commentary will come from Australian Luke Elvy and 2002 PGA Champion Rich Beem, well known to UK viewers through his Sky Sports broadcasting role.
As well as the single player career mode, the game will also feature extensive online options for players to tee it up with friends and others with formats including alternate-shot, stroke play, skins and four-player scramble.
On top of that, Online Societies will encourage players to invite their friends to play full seasons and tournaments with unique entry rules and requirements, as well as handicap and event settings.
