‘Temu Version of You’: Brooke Henderson Polarizes Fans as She Celebrates PGA Tour 2k25 Launch
Every fan of the sport must have played a golf game sometime in their lives. Whether you prefer EA Sports PGA Tour or PGA Tour 2K series is a different matter altogether. But getting to swing the club without having to visit the course – and that too as one of your favorite players – is one way to get your fill of golf. And it’s all the better especially when you get the dynamic and intriguing challenges such games offer. Guess what? Now, fans have another interesting aspect of the game to cherish and enjoy… or not?
As shared by Brooke Henderson, she is in the lineup of playable PGA Tour 2K25 characters. That means fans will be able to guide her career in a simulation atmosphere and help her win titles. However, these titles won’t be from the LPGA Tour events. The game has a one-size-fits-all mode where both men and women golfers play in the PGA Tour only.
That means, you can have Henderson win the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open, and the Open Championship. Wondering where the Masters Tournament is? Unfortunately, 2K Games has still not signed with the Augusta National to include the green jacket event in their lineup. Hence, whether you’re playing Brooke Henderson, Tiger Woods, Justin Thomas, or any other player, you can’t compete in the Masters Tournament in the game.
Additionally, the game’s lineup also includes other LPGA Tour stars. PGA Tour 2K25 will feature Lydia Ko and Rose Zhang as well. Unfortunately, due to lack of image rights, the entire lineup of PGA Tour 2k25 only features 12 professional golfers. But that was not what the fans were focused on when they learned about he game. In fact, fan opinions were largely divided to see Brooke Henderson in the PGA Tour 2K25 lineup when she shared the post on her Instagram. Let’s see what they had to say.
Brooke Henderson’s return receives mixed reactions
“So excited to be back in @pgatour2k !! 😀⛳️ #ad” said Brooke Henderson, sharing the amazing news with her fans. And she received a big hurray from one of her beloved fans who said, “👏👏❤️ come on Brook this is your time to shine again. Love from 🇨🇦 🍁 💗”. They seem to be excited to see Henderson get the spotlight once again! Another fan stated “That’s actually a pretty good likeness… I’m sold!”. They might have already purchased the game soon after they shared the comment claim of likeness was short-lived.
Thus began the round of criticism – not for Henderson, but for 2K Games. There was a comment that read, “This is the temu version of you 😂”. The subpar modelling of Brooke Henderson’s character seems to have forced them to leave this comment. But they were not the only ones who scrutinized the game developers. One of the comments said “You look like someone walked in your line… 😬”. This suggests that Brooke Henderson’s character in PGA Tour 2K25 looks a bit angry. This is a complete contrast to the bright and happy demeanor of the LPGA Tour pro.
Lastly, one of the followers said “Not a very good model”. They were bluntly critical of the work 2K Games put in to develop the picture-perfect model of Henderson. Perhaps another competitor might be able to deliver a better product? However, at the end of the day, everyone is excited to play as Brooke Henderson in the game, wouldn’t you agree?
