Hot Shots Golf<\/em> in North America), but 2017’s game was the first in the series since 2011.<\/p> The closest golf has to annualized video games is happening today. The Golf Club 2019 Featuring PGA Tour<\/em> just stealth-released on PC, PS4, and Xbox One at a price of $50. It’s the third Golf Club<\/em> title; the original launched in 2014 and The Golf Club 2<\/em> launched in 2017. Back-to-back years is technically annualized.<\/p> What makes this game special is right there in the name. It has the PGA Tour official license for the first time ever, which brings that extra authenticity to a realistic simulated golf game. Developer HB Studios says that The Golf Club 2019<\/em> will have a PGA Tour career mode and courses that are endorsed by the PGA Tour. It doesn’t appear as if Golf Club 2019<\/em> has the rights to use the likenesses of the players, however.<\/p> There’s another interesting tidbit about Golf Club 2019<\/em>: It’s being published by 2K Games. This makes it the only golf game with backing by a major publisher (apart from Everybody’s Golf<\/em> being funded by Sony, but that’s not aiming for the same degree of realism). If this venture goes well, it’s conceivable that 2K could wrap future Golf Club<\/em> games under the 2K Sports 2K<\/em> banner and pay for the licenses to include PGA Tour players.<\/p> The surprise launch today only includes the digital version of Golf Club 2019<\/em>. 2K says that physical editions will hit retail sometime later this fall.<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":228117,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1,97,101,181,99],"tags":[83,3923],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":9,"display_name":"Brett
