PGA Tour 2K23 gets October release and Tiger Woods on the cover

‘2K is the perfect partner for me and I am excited to continue impacting the game and culture of golf beyond my play on the PGA Tour.’

PGA Tour 2K23 will feature 20 licensed courses and 14 playable golfers, including Woods, at launch, with 2K promising to add more of both as free DLC.

We were a bit confused by this addition, but Jordan’s apparently an avid golfer, having hosted his own golfing tournaments in the past.

As for the Deluxe and Tiger Woods Editions, they come with additional cosmetics not included with the
