Looks like Finau is wearing Nike in the game when they show him in cutscenes, but your MyPlayer doesn't appear to have access to Nike apparel.

They did say they want to add more brands later down the road as DLC.

Here are the apparel brands I was able to gather from the various videos today:

adidas
Ben Hogan
Bridgestone
Callaway
Grand Slam
Jack Nicklaus
Malbon
Penguin
PGA Tour
Royal & Awesome
Skechers
Tattoo Golf
Under Armour
Wilson
Puma
POLO Ralph Lauren

No, there is not.

Just a note I pulled from TGC Tours forums...the devs had previously boasted that no one would break par on day one playing on Legendary difficulty...

Well, it's already been done: https://tgctours.proboards.com/post/564205/thread

Liked a lot of what I saw today. Two negatives for me are the meter putting. Think they had a better putting system last version. I believe it can be turned off but don't think it will be for online tours (it was on legend preset). It also just looks like meterless putting would be hard in watching streams

Not being able to put user courses into career mode is probably the one that hurts the most for solo players. Seems like that should have been in game without question.

That is a disappointment.

Online and career don't matter too much for me. Golf the 2k way.

I just watched that round. In at least 4 cases I saw, if he had hit the shot with the right tempo, he'd have been in serious trouble. Like there was one par 4 where he was aimed too far to the right, but he hit an offscale "Fast" tempo, and it hooked his ball right where he needed to be. He got some favorable bounces that brought him out of the heavy rough and into the fairway.

Still, he made some great pitches and chips, and rolled some lengthy putts without a grid.

I'm a bit surprised that they leave the power meters on in "Legendary"!? Crazycanuck said himself that the game gets significantly harder with them off. He'd have had trouble breaking 80 if he'd had them off in this round. I'll bet the TST Society will have them turned off in their tournament settings.

I watched a lot of golf today from a half dozen different streamers. It was really information overload and I'm overdosed right now. What I did learn was that I'll probably find my best fit with Master Difficulty level, with the power meters turned off. It could go down to as low as Pro Difficulty if it's as difficult without the meters as Crazycanuck said.

I just hate having to watch power meters when I'm playing golf. It takes me out of the time and place long enough to make me feel disassociated with it. I want to watch the golfer and gauge my swing based on it. I also imagine we'll have a tough time settling on settings for the Digital Sportspage Society that I manage. We have a mix of Pro and Master players now and it's going to be hard to find a happy medium. There's all sorts of tweakage though and we'll come up with something... I hope!
