PGA TOUR® 2K23 BRINGS “MORE GOLF. MORE GAME.” WITH THE ICONIC TIGER WOODS

2K and HB Studios welcome players to the leaderboard with even more officially licensed playable pros, courses and gear

Today, 2K set a tee time for PGA TOUR® 2K23, the forthcoming entry in the golf simulation video game franchise from HB Studios. PGA TOUR 2K23 Deluxe Edition and PGA TOUR 2K23 Tiger Woods Edition are scheduled for worldwide release on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, followed by PGA TOUR 2K23 Standard Edition on Friday, October 14, 2022. 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.

“It’s not only great to be back on the cover of a video game, but the Executive Director role makes this a truly unique opportunity,” said Tiger Woods. “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.”

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.

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.

I'm wondering what they mean by "Uncommon consumable golf ball sleeves". I hope it's not like WGT where you have to constantly buy balls because they have a limited life expectancy. With WGT it becomes a real money maker for them.

[Carlos Spicywiener]

Need to see gameplay

What little i saw doesnt look very good. What year is it? Lol

[duffer suffer]

I missed the part where it says: Available for PC through Steam. Does that mean no Steam Edition?

There is Uncommon consumable, consumable Common, Rare consumable, Epic consumable.

That tells me that we may be buying balls to play.

i went to 2ks site and their pc preorders are for steam.

That anything involving "consumables" sounds like bad news, and that they're really trying to scrape every penny out of us that they can get. Aside from that, I'm interested to hear more about what's coming, and not rushing to thrust my wallet into their hands just yet.

I've already got sufficient balls to play, though granted not as much they'd have to have in order to try to cash-grab for special "consumable" balls (or anything else). The whole idea of consumables reeks of the mobile golf games that try to get you to buy such things to "play better", and are just there to separate those with too much money from some of it.

[Kidder Lar Lar]

Ok - who is expecting...

A sauce-load of microtransactions, locked loot and just enough bugs to keep you buying next year.

[Protus]

lemme know when its 75% off :P

If we have to buy golf balls, I'm out. I'll stay with 2K21

Oh, I'm sure the regular old golf balls are free. It's the super-powered ones that'll cost ya.

(Please, PLEASE, 2K, prove me wrong. You don't know how happy I'd be for this not to be some microtransaction-happy mobile-wannabe game.)

[Whiplash]

Where is the Rick Shiels edition. I may pay 250 dollars a month for that.

[OddballOne]

We getting another janky simply embarrassing online system again? Huh? Hhuh????? No in game text chat option or voice chat, disconnects left and right and laughable matchmaking.
