How long do the Servers have left?

Yearly release sports games, tend to only last 2-3 years before modes are disabled and the servers eventually get nuked so at most, you have 1 year left before this Plat goes bye-bye. EA usually give decent warning of server closures but it's not unknown for them to kill a game without notice, then backdate when it happened.

PGA Tour 2K21 was made by 2K, not EA. The game is the sucesssor to the trilogy of Golf Club games. Golf Club 1 and Golf Club 2 Online Servers have apparently been secretly shutdown around Nov/Dec 2022 without prior warning of a Server Closure. I would therefore be quite warry of the online trophies in PGA Tour 2K21, especially since many Carreer mode trohies require an Online connection to the 2K servers.

In that case I stand corrected :).

Short Update: I have been talking with the 2K Support and they told me, they are not responsible for any golf games before The Golf Club 2019. Golf Club 1/2 are the direct predecessor games, but they have apparently been managed by the developer HB Studious themselves. Since even Wikipedia listed them as part of the 2K Golf franchise, I naively believed that too.

2K usually shuts down their sports games a bit earlier than EA does (at least if you compare the NBA 2K and the EA Fifa games), but they are not to be blamed for the stealth shutdown. I just wanted to correct myself and clarify this.

Maximum Games were responsible for The Golf Club shutdowns. The only other game they've closed before those was Dead Alliance, which had a small blog post on the Steam Forums that basically everyone missed.
