How to Decide
Links 2001 is a classic golf simulation prized for its realistic ball‑flight physics and is used by golf enthusiasts and simulation players. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Links LS 1999 leans on high‑resolution textures and detailed terrain for a more modern visual feel; Links LS: 1998 Edition is distinguished by its inclusion of licensed real‑world courses such as Pebble Beach; PGA Championship Golf 2000 stands out with a deep career mode that lets you manage sponsorships, rankings and tournament schedules; PGA Championship Golf 1999 Edition emphasizes a comprehensive club‑customization system with adjustable loft, shaft and other parameters; Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 is unique for its multi‑platform release on PC, Mac and PS2.
When comparing alternatives to Links 2001, focus on (1) the depth of the built‑in course editor or designer, since visual fidelity and user‑generated content vary widely; (2) the presence of officially licensed real‑world courses, which can affect authenticity; (3) the breadth of career‑mode features such as sponsorship and ranking management; (4) the granularity of club‑customization options for fine‑tuning performance; and (5) platform coverage, because only Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 offers non‑PC options.
