For its part, PGA Tour 2K21 has attempted to counter all of the developments coming out of EA’s camp by announcing a partnership with Tiger Woods, a shrewd move that secures the likeness of the sport’s most recognizable star and the former lucrative cover athlete of EA’s old golf games. The news that EA would be returning with a new golf game sometime in 2022 has been made even more exciting by the subsequent details that EA had also renewed its partnership with the PGA and would be including events like The Masters and the US Open in the game. The biggest threat though to the reign of PGA Tour 2K21 has to be considered the recent announcements regarding the return of EA’s dormant PGA Tour golf series that hasn’t released a new entry since Rory McIlroy’s PGA Tour back in 2015.
On top of that, there are modes in Mario Golf that are not dissimilar to the BR-style Divot Derby mode within PGA 2K. But who knows? Maybe that kind of counter-programming is exactly what people are looking for when it comes to virtual golf right now. This started with Mario Golf: Super Rush, though that game is not necessarily trying to attract all that many fans of PGA Tour 2K21 by virtue of being a more cartoonish version of the sport than what 2K’s simulation has to offer. In other words, this is where an EA golf game comes into play.Īfter all, those days will be coming to an end soon for PGA Tour 2K21 with other golf video games slated to be released in both the near and distant future. But the fact that PGA Tour 2K21 didn’t actually secure an exclusive license to use the PGA Tour name and all of its connected entities always meant the door was still wide open for other games to enter the fray and stake their claim to some of the same territory the makers of PGA Tour 2K21 have been taking for granted while being the only golf game on the block. With the market theirs to claim for domination, any perceived shortcomings are bound to be easier to overlook when there simply aren’t any other titles to compare the game against and help determine its true worth. Since its release in August of last year, one of the best things that PGA Tour 2K21 has had going for it is the fact that it really doesn’t have a lot of serious competition within the realm of golf video games.
