TOUR Players Use Video Games For Friendship, Fellowship

Jon Rahm, who graduated from Arizona State, says he’s found the sense of community to be particularly important during the isolation of the pandemic.

PGATOUR.com’s Helen Ross said that sense of community is one of the things the PGA TOUR is targeting with the launch of the PGA TOUR 2K21 Society eSeries in conjunction with the Waste Management Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale.

There are currently over 66,000 players in the 2K21 Society of online gamers who will have the opportunity to compete in 14 official events, concluding with the TOUR Championship where the winner of the FedExCup will be determined.

Each eSeries event will consist of four 18-hole rounds of stroke play.
