2K set a tee time for PGA Tour 2K23, the forthcoming entry in the golf simulation video game franchise from HB Studios. 

Featuring PGA TOUR icon and all-time sports great Tiger Woods as the cover athlete, PGA Tour 2K23 celebrates Woods’ legacy by introducing him as both a playable in-game pro and an Executive Director advising the game development team.

Woods leads a roster of more than 14 male and female pros at launch (additional pros and courses will be added as free post-launch DLC and be available to all players), including Justin Thomas, Lexi Thompson, Tony Finau, Lydia Ko, Collin Morikawa, Will Zalatoris, Brooke Henderson and more. Players can step into the tee box as one of the pros in Exhibition, multiplayer and Divot Derby play, or go head-to-head with them in a battle to climb the leaderboard and claim the FedExCup in PGA TOUR MyCAREER mode. In addition to the pros, the broadcast-style presentation and commentary team of Rich Beem and Luke Elvy also return, with the addition of English golf pro and broadcaster Henni Koyack.

2K revealed details for MyPlayer customization and MyCareer in PGA Tour 2K23, during which players will start out on the Korn Ferry Tour and work their way up to PGA Tour pro status, taking on some of the most challenging and popular courses in pursuit of FedExCup glory.

Welcome to the Leaderboard in PGA Tour 2K23 MyCareer

A spot atop the leaderboard and plenty of customization options await amateurs and pros alike in the PGA Tour 2K23 MyCareer. Players will create a unique MyPlayer, start out on the Korn Ferry Tour and work their way up to PGA Tour pro status, taking on the likes of Tiger Woods, Justin Thomas, Lexi Thompson, Lydia Ko, Collin Morikawa, Brooke Henderson and Tony Finau on some of the most challenging and popular courses in pursuit of FedExCup glory.

MyPlayer customization is deeper than ever, with new player archetypes and skill trees. Players choose the style that works best for them, from a long-driving power hitter to a short game expert. Custom club fitting allows a further degree of personalization, allowing for unique combinations of club attributes. Other franchise firsts include a variety of caddies who appear alongside MyPlayers, unique golf ball colors and designs, and even more popular branded apparel and gear from brands including adidas, Bridgestone Golf, Callaway Golf, FootJoy, Mizuno, Nike Golf, PUMA, Titleist, TravisMathew, and many more.

In addition to customization options, pro rivalries and sponsorship opportunities add to the realism of MyCareer.

PGA Tour 2K23 will include 20 licensed courses at launch. New additions include the South Course of Wilmington Country Club, The Renaissance Club, St. George’s Golf and Country Club and more. The industry-leading Course Designer also returns, offering players the opportunity to build their dream courses and share them with a global online community.

MyPLAYER personalization returns and players can equip their MyPLAYERS just like Tiger with Nike Golf, TaylorMade and Bridgestone Golf apparel and gear. Even more apparel options are available from licensed brands, including Callaway Golf, FootJoy, Malbon Golf, Nike Golf, PUMA, Titleist, TravisMathew and more (some cosmetic items and consumables may require unlocking with virtual currency (earned or paid) or via gameplay).

In addition to the returning analog stick swing, a three-click swing option is also available for an added level of customization so players can play the way they like.

PGA Tour 2K23 offers new casual modes to help rookies get into the game, while giving seasoned players new challenges and opportunities to work on their skills. The introduction of Topgolf offers a unique experience emulating the popular golf entertainment phenomenon, where players can aim for targets and try to earn the highest score. Training mode offers multiple ways to develop skills, including swing calibration, lessons, chipping practice, a driving range and a putting green.

Online multiplayer features (cross-gen but not cross-platform) also return for PGA Tour 2K23. Online Societies encourage players to squad up with friends for custom tournaments and full seasons, while Clubhouse Pass will provide post-launch content and goals for players to enjoy well into the future.
