Golden Tee Mobile – Shots of the Week – March 27, 2021

April 2, 2021 by SirShanksAlot

Although I’ve strayed a bit this week as I explore WGT (World Golf Tour), I managed to get in a few rounds of Golden Tee Mobile as well. I’ll often watch these Golden Tee Mobile Shots of the Week videos and think, “ya.. if the moon and stars aligned, I could probably hit that shot”. That’s the case this week with the exception of #1. That is ridiculous….

Wanna play a round sometime? Follow us on Twitch and join us on Golden Tee Mobile (SirShanksAlot #5b1b) and WGT (SirShanksAlot97) and enjoy our mediocre ability.

Let’s be honest… has there really been a golf video game better than the ones from the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise? (the answer is no)

After a few years away from starring in a video game, Tiger Woods has signed a long term deal with 2K. Although we don’t know exactly what the deal means, 2K did offer some hints in their press release…

“Woods’ partnership with 2K includes rights for his name and likeness to appear exclusively in the PGA TOUR 2K franchise, as well as any other golf games published by 2K during the partnership term. Woods will play an active role in the video game landscape as an Executive Director and consultant with PGA TOUR 2K, while 2K will also partner with Woods’ TGR Foundation, which provides award-winning STEM curricula and college-access programs to offer underserved students the tools needed to thrive in school and beyond.”

Needless to say, it is nice to have Tiger back in the video game space. Now we just need him back on the course!
