PGA Tour 2K21 Reviews
There are areas which could be improved, and I’m sure they will be in subsequent releases, but for now, let’s just relish the fact that the PGA Tour licence has been put to good use. A deeper career and the ability to play as pros can be delivered at a later date.
I know I personally am going to sink more hours into this, especially in handheld mode. I'll lament the sedate menus and game crashes, but I'll take the compromises for off-TV play. If you do want to look at prettier visuals with less issues on your TV, go check out PGA Tour 2K21 on another platform.
With a huge success on the golf courses, PGA Tour 2K21 manages to deliver an exquisite experience in what matters most and a long-lived career, although in other aspects, especially the visual presentation and the use (or lack of) of its content licensed, laying good foundations on which to build a long-term champion formula.

An excellent simulation of an excellent sport.
No matter what type of golf you want to play, PGA Tour 2K21 does a nice job in not only making successful rounds feel rewarding, but it keeps you wanting to play just to get better.
It speaks volumes about PGA Tour 2K21 that, despite its lackluster roster and game modes, it's still such an easy recommendation. It owes it all to a phenomenal gameplay loop that's as easy to pick up as it is difficult to master. The series may be a few years away from true greatness, but don't let that stop you from shooting your shot now.
PGA Tour 2K21's career mode provides the opportunity to go head-to-head against some of the best golfers on the PGA Tour while making enthusiasts feel like legends. The swing mechanics can be frustrating at first if enough practice time is not invested, but extended playtime provides a true sense of progression and leads to an entertaining experience. The backgrounds and fans aren't particularly enjoyable to look at, but they no longer distract after a few holes. Ultimately, 2K and HB Studios created a platform for golf fans to create a memorable career while visiting some iconic courses, and they largely succeeded with a solidly-built game.
PGA Tour 2K21 borrows a lot from its Golf Club predecessors. By adding a helpful tutorial and many aids, HB Studios have made the game accessible to newcomers, while retaining higher difficulty levels for returning golf fans. PGA Tour 2K21 is the most all-round golf game currently available.

Overall, PGA2K21 is a great game to pass the time with but not without its issues. I recommend playing through this if you are a true golf fan. But for fans of the previous series such as the EA golf games (Tiger woods, Rory Mcllroy) I'd probably stay away as this is such a far cry from the games you remember. However, if you can manage to get past the controls you can have a decent time. Even with some of the issue that regarding controls this game still with provide hours and hours of content that will keep you replaying key moments through the various modes. So, as it stands PGA2K21 is just par for the course no more no less.
A great overall experience for golf lovers 2k21 brought me back time and time again, it has this simulation that gets as deep as you want it to be it’s just so inviting to play a hole or two every now and then.

PGA Tour 2K21 features a handful of game modes. You can either play a local match, play online with friends, practices and of course, the pièce de résistance, tackle the PGA Tour with a custom created character. The PGA Tour mode will have you go through qualifying rounds in order to be considered worthy of the PGA Tour. While the qualifiers are pretty perfectly balanced (also according to the selected difficulty; more on that below), the PGA Tour is a progressive climb through the golfing world ladder. As you clear courses, the difficulty, complexity, and challenges increase progressively making for a fun and perfectly balanced challenge.
Pure golfing goodness in a questionable package, PGA Tour 2K21 is the best golfing experience you can have in recent memory,
It's a very interesting game that will be unrivaled. The main focus was on realism, starting from the graphics to get to the controls. Graphically the title is excelled with very interesting visual details.

2K have completely rejuvenated video game golf. Not just that, they’ve published a great video game that I am having so much fun with. More than I ever expected to. I can’t speak for someone who advocates for and regularly watches golf, but what I can say is PGA Tour 2K21 has done more to get me interested in the sport than I ever have been. I cannot wait to see how HB Studios and 2K keep building and growing PGA 2K for the next generation and years ahead.
This has been a weird year in general and for sports in particular, but PGA Tour 2K21 is a perfect reprieve from all of that. The PGA license is put to good use and the authentic presentation help to round out what was already a great core system. The Golf Club lives on in PGA Tour 2K21, and is a game golf fans are going to want to get their hands on.
Best golf simulation you can play. PGA Tour 2K21 is far from perfect but offers an experience that both new players and golf fans can spend hours in front of.

PGA Tour 2K21 is a solid golf simulation with good customization features and good multiplayer, but graphics are just fine and golfers aren't too differentiated.

PGA TOUR 2K21 might not have the most “involving” career mode, but it more than makes up for it with easing up on the difficulty curve, a fantastic golf course editor, a multitude of maps and a greatly improved multiplayer. A must have for golf fans.

PGA Tour 2K21 is, in its core, a great golfing simulator. However, the career mode doesn't really offer much motivation aside from the enjoyment from playing.

Perfecting its swing and aiming for the green, while not necessarily a hole-in-one, but landing a nice double eagle for its first franchise entry in the esteemed 2K Sports collection, PGA 2K21 shows immediate promise in this renaissance for golf gamers.
