2K has revealed the first details about PGA Tour 2K23, and there's a lot to know. Most notably the next game in the series now has a release date. Actually, it has two. The standard edition will launch on October 14, 2022, while the Deluxe and Tiger Woods editions will be available three days earlier on October 11.

That Tiger Woods edition is the second biggest piece of news coming out of 2K's reveal behind the release dates.
