PGA Tour 2K21 Reviews
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.
PGA Tour 2K21 delivers a near realistic golf experience where you'll be spending hours of your time in the career mode, though they should've invested more in the graphical aspect of the game.

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.

Ultimately, PGA Tour 2K21 represents a triumphant return for the series after its five year hiatus. Any minor issues with the game are easily overlooked thanks to the striking overall quality both visually and mechanically. Whether you’re a novice or veteran, PGA Tour 2K21 provides a standout golfing experience sorely missed by fans of the sport and video game series.
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.
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.
If you are a fan of Golf or just want to hit the links for casual play, PGA Tour 2K21 is one of the best sports game experiences I have played and lots of fun.
PGA Tour 2K21 feels like the best sports game released ten years ago. Unfortunately, it just feels too dated to truly compete with other, modern sports games.
While excelling with the clubs, the character-specific unlocks aren't great, and you're mostly just playing for score
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 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.
PGA Tour 2K21 offers the best stroke play in years, with deep and rich shot and swing craft. Only a lean career mode proves its handicap.
PGA Tour 2K21 is a great golf game. Yes, it has a few weird design choices, especially the XP and levelling system. This does not, however, overshadow an enjoyable golf game that you can tailor to your wishes. The game retains its great Societies feature along with a robust course designer and has a plethora of game modes and multiplayer options. If you are in the market for a golf game then PGA Tour 2K21 is a sure drive up the fairway and definitely worth your time and money.
As someone who didn’t know much about golf and expected this to be a boring experience, PGA Tour 2K21 surprised me on so many levels and became a very thrilling experience.

PGA Tour 2K21 is a great golfing game, it delivers on content and many ways to expand what’s available further through excellent course creation tools.
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.
In between some of the most frustrating moments I’ve had with any sort of game in quite some time, PGA Tour 2K21 flashed with hopeful, brilliant optimism.
PGA Tour 2K21 is a lot of fun to play, with the best gameplay in a golf game to date. The courses look beautiful, and the presentation is on point as well. Whilst the career mode is quite basic, it never ruins the enjoyment of the game.
From a pure gameplay standpoint, PGA Tour 2K21 delivers a strong enough experience to satisfy fans, and the course designer is fantastic. However, the game falls more toward the average because of its bland career mode, modest list of licensed golfers, and out-dated graphics.
