'PGA Tour 2K21' Celebrates 2.5 Million Units Shipped to Stores With New User-Generated Content Rollout, 100 Thieves Collaboration

PGA Tour 2K21 is the latest installment in the long-running golfing franchise.

Featuring decorated PGA TOUR pro Justin Thomas as the cover athlete, PGA Tour 2K21 heralds the return of the great golf video game that fans have been missing. Developed by HB Studios, the studio behind The Golf Club 2019 Featuring PGA TOUR, PGA Tour 2K21 marks the evolution of The Golf Club franchise and will include 15 licensed PGA TOUR courses, each of which was scanned using cutting-edge technology to bring the fairways, greens, bunkers, trees, lakes and ponds to life. Players can also trick out their own greens and fairways with thousands of custom options in the Course Designer. Fans can reserve their tee time now by pre-ordering PGA Tour 2K21 at participating retailers. 

Thomas will be joined by 11 additional PGA TOUR pros, each of whom will present a challenge to players in PGA TOUR Career Mode as they compete to become a FedExCup Champion. Players can also create and personalize their MyPLAYERs with equipment and apparel from licensed brands including adidas, Polo Ralph Lauren, Malbon Golf, Callaway Golf, Bridgestone Golf, TaylorMade Golf and more.

Capping off the simulation experience, PGA Tour 2K21 will feature a broadcast-style presentation with state-of-the-art graphics, dynamic cutscenes and a seamless replay system, all anchored by the play-by-play commentary of renowned broadcaster Luke Elvy and analyst Rich Beem.


In celebration of PGA Tour 2K21 surpassing 2.5 million units sold-in (ed. means shipped to stores, not actually sold to players) around the globe, 2K and HB Studios announced the theme for the all-new custom courses coming to multiplayer playlists in September, as well as a collaboration with lifestyle brand and gaming collective 100 Thieves.

For players who missed their tee times, there’s no better time to hit the virtual links alongside legions of other players as they seek to claim FedExCup glory, take on thousands of custom courses, race opponents to the cup in a round of Divot Derby, and deck out their MyPLAYERs in the freshest fits.

Each month, several new courses, created by a group of international content creators including American Mattf27, Canadians Crazycanuck1985 and Arctic Fury, b101design from the United Kingdom and New Zealander Energ1zer, will be added to multiplayer playlists, with each month featuring a distinct creative theme. September’s theme will feature multiple “Dream Courses,” including a collaboration with lifestyle brand and gaming collective 100 Thieves. Accomplished course designer Crazycanuck1985 will work with 100 Thieves Founder & CEO Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag, a passionate golfer and avid PGA TOUR 2K21 player, to create his dream 18-hole golf course for players around the globe to enjoy.

"As an avid golfer and gamer, PGA TOUR 2K21 really nails the intersection of a challenging golf simulator and the cool, laid-back culture of modern golf,” said Nadeshot. “I’m thrilled to partner with 2K and one of the game's most talented course designers, Crazycanuck1985, to bring my own dream golf course to life.”

PGA Tour 2K21 is designed for players of all skill levels. Rookies can take advantage of real-time tutorials, tips and shot suggestions, while veterans can master their games with Pro Vision, Distance Control, Putt Preview and other innovations. Social gaming is at the core of the experience, as players can hit the links with friends in local and online matches, including Alt-Shot, Stroke Play, Skins and 4-Player Scramble. In addition, Online Societies will encourage players to invite their squad to hit the clubhouse and run full seasons and tournaments with unique entry rules and requirements, as well as handicap and event settings.

Through a partnership between 2K and sports lifestyle brand adidas, players who pre-order PGA Tour 2K21 will receive the 2K/adidas CODECHAOS MyPLAYER Pack featuring adidas CODECHAOS BOA® golf shoes and custom 2K/adidas gear, including a sport performance polo, Ultimate365 pants and tour hat, designed by adidas Golf exclusively for PGA Tour 2K21. Players who purchase the PGA Tour 2K21 Digital Deluxe Edition will receive the 2K/adidas CODECHAOS MyPLAYER Pack, as well as the “Golden Touch” pack featuring a gold putter and driver, and a 2300 VC pack, which can be used to unlock in-game cosmetic items (can also be unlocked by achieving in-game objectives. No additional purchase necessary).

PGA Tour 2K21 is available for PS4, Xbox One, PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch (digital download) and Stadia.
