Late last week, we introduced you to video game Bryson—a svelte companion to the muscle-bound beast that was making mince meat (it’s high in protein!) of Colonial during the opening round of the Charles Schwab Challenge. Following cover star Justin Thomas and Matt “you don’t have to tip virtual caddies” Kuchar, “The Scientist” was the third playable PGA Tour pro unveiled for golf’s much-anticipated return to modern consoles, ‘PGA Tour 2K21’. Over the course of the weekend, 2K Games slowly trickled out all nine remaining names, concluding during the final round on Sunday with the 2017 Masters champ, Sergio Garcia. The end result is the solid (minus some obvious big names) 12-man roster you see below. Choose your fighter.

Justin Thomas

Matt Kuchar

Bryson DeChambeau

Kevin Kisner

Cam Champ

Tony Finau

Ian Poulter

Gary Woodland

Billy Horschel

Patrick Cantlay

Sergio Garcia

Jim Furyk

Yes. We said Jim Furyk. Go ahead. Run around your living room pulling your own hair while screaming like Kevin McAllister. Get it out of your system.

The most noticeable absentees are guys that were always going to be impossible to get. This isn’t Tiger Woods’ PGA Tour anymore, literally or digitally. It would have been nice to see the likes of Koepka, Fleetwood and Matthew Wolff involved, but the motion-capture guys probably had their hands full with Furyk’s swing anyway.

There is the glaring lack of a great villain, however. ‘Mortal Kombat’ had Scorpion. ‘Resident Evil’ had Nemesis. On paper at least, ‘PGA Tour 2K21’ seems to be missing that integral element, but let’s just wait and see. Maybe, just maybe Patrick Reed will make a cameo as the final boss.

Ever since the discontinuation of the Tiger Woods PGA Tour video game series—and the one-off Rory McIlroy PGA Tour game from 2015—golf fans have been clamouring for a high-quality console video game option.

It appears that, amid this pandemic that has put the professional game on hold, our prayers have been answered.

A verified Twitter account called PGA Tour 2K released a 17-second preview for PGA Tour 2K21, and the account says full details on the game will be coming on May 14. The official PGA Tour Twitter account re-tweeted the announcement shortly thereafter. The preview features the famous island-green 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass, and we’re so excited for this potential game that we’ll overlook the ball being teed up driver-height for a 130ish-yard shot.

The game will be developed by HB Studios, the group behind The Golf Club 2019, a game that has grown in popularity due to its course-design feature, allowing players to tee it up on re-created versions of courses like Augusta National and Pine Valley. And while that game does have a PGA Tour career mode that allows you to progress from Q-School on, it does not feature any PGA Tour players, meaning gamers must play as a fictional golfer.

This new game will be published by 2K studios, the same studio behind the immensely popular NBA 2K series. Ostensibly, it’ll feature aspects from The Golf Game but will be buoyed by some level of partnership with the Tour, as suggested by the name of the game. We’re still short on a number of details—when the game will be released, what consoles it will be available on, whether PGA Tour players will be featured, which courses will be playable, etc. But in this sports-less void, good news is few and far between, and this is most certainly good news.
