EA Sports Announces Return of PGA Tour
EA Sports today officially announced a new PGA Tour game is on the way however few details were provided beyond that. The most substantial of the limited information is that pros will be playable.

PGA Tour 2K21 Review
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.

Originally released in 2017, The Golf Club 2 was generally well received despite a few deficiencies including the lack of any licensing.
