PGA Tour 2K is the new name for The Golf Club series, which could have just as easily been rebranded as Dark Holes for its uncompromisingly hardcore simulation of the sport. In its previous incarnation, it showed its players all the forgiveness of a FromSoftware game. But with its latest evolution under the 2K sports banner, PGA Tour 2K21 has layered a raft of more traditional videogame guides and aids on top of that focus on realism in order to make it more approachable to a wider audience. As a result, PGA Tour 2K21 facilitates a members club that anyone can join, yet like all good golf courses there’s still some rough around its edges.
