    PGA TOUR 2K Series Wiki

    This wiki provides a comprehensive overview of the PGA TOUR 2K series, a golf simulation video game franchise developed by HB Studios and published by 2K.

    Core Gameplay

    The PGA TOUR 2K series focuses on delivering a realistic golfing experience. Key gameplay elements include:

    • Swing Mechanics: The series has evolved its swing mechanics over time. Early iterations featured a three-click system, while later games introduced analog stick swing controls. PGA TOUR 2K23 offered both methods. PGA TOUR 2K25 introduces "EvoSwing," further refining the system with new shot types and improved physics.
    • Physics: Realistic ball physics and course dynamics are a core element. Factors like wind, terrain (fairway, rough, bunkers), and weather conditions affect ball trajectory and roll.
    • Course Variety: The games feature a mix of real-world licensed courses and fictional courses, meticulously recreated with detailed graphics.
    • Customization: Players can customize their golfers (MyPLAYER) with apparel, equipment, and attributes. Course Designers allow players to create and share their own courses.
