After promises from developer HB Studios that "The Golf Club 2019" would be made available for download before the end of the month, the game launched Tuesday with a surprise - it's been published by 2K Sports.
Video game fans will recognize 2K as the publisher of annual installments of NBA and WWE titles in addition to the acclaimed "Bioshock" series.
The PGA Tour announced in May that it was liscensing its branding and six TPC courses (Sawgrass, Scottsdale, Boston, Deere Run, Summerlin and Southwind) to HB for the third edition of its "Golf Club" game. The Tour had previously maintained a longtime relationship with EA Sports, which produced the now-defunct "Tiger Woods PGA Tour" franchise.
