Hmm...the first "crossover" course, as 2K21 also had TPC Southwind. Cool stuff about ShotLink, and I also assume this means Abraham Ancer is in the game.

I figured we would but that confirms the Korn Ferry Tour will be in career mode.

All of this is great. More importantly though how will the game play be? I do NOT want another arcade like golf game with fireballs down the fairway and the ability to steer the ball left and right mid flight.

Of all the things that PGA The Golf Club did not have, it really had great realistic game play. Its just golf and it should play that way.

Also one of their tweets says ‘ WHO WILL YOU HAVE WINNING THE TROPHY’? Does that imply the ability to use PGA Pros in career mode?

If we can get all of Rory 15 courses also, we will really be talking.

For what it's worth, 'Rory' had two of these courses that have been announced - East Lake and St Andrews.

GREAT point. EA has a real opportunity here course wise. If the gameplay is there.... it could be a great game.

The ShotLink integration could be phenomenal!

I know it’s just for data according to this release but it is interesting to see trackman mentioned considering they have their own software.

I wonder if there will be a path for them to offer an integration with the game for their hardware customers

Hopefully there’s an option now to have the line follow the ball like tw 11.

Everyone is excited about the courses included in this game, but if the game play is not there it won't matter. As I have said before PGA The Golf Club 2019 got two things right. Custom  user made courses and game play that made you feel you are playing real golf.

If the game is going to be arcade like with fireballs going down the fairway and turning the ball left and right in mid flight forget it.

Also the ability to create your own course in the game, upload them to the server, and let users download those courses would be a great way to develop a better game community.

On PGA The Golf Club 2019 there were some great course created. The Bethage Black course is one that comes to mind.
