We finally know PGA Tour 2K23’s release date and which big-name athletes will be part of the series’ return. Spoiler alert: there’s a pretty random addition.
On Monday, 2K announced that PGA Tour 2K23 is coming out on Oct. 14, 2022, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. However, anyone who pre-orders the Deluxe or Tiger Woods Editions can play several days early on Oct. 11, 2022. Woods hasn’t been on the cover of PGA Tour 2K since 2013, so it’s a pretty big deal.
“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,” Woods said in a press release. “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.”

There will be more than 14 playable professional golfers available at launch. Other notable names include Will Zalatoris, Tony Finau, Lydia Ko, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas, Lexi Thompson, and Brooke Henderson. Though none are quite as exciting as Michael Jordan — yes, 23 himself is in PGA Tour 2K23. He’s unlockable if you pre-order any version of the game as DLC. Wild that Jordan will be in this and NBA 2K23.
On top of all that, 20 officially licensed courses. Some examples are the South Course of Wilmington Country Club, The Renaissance Club, St. George’s Golf and Country Club, and plenty more. The course designer is back too, so there’ll be plenty of opportunities to make something special.
There hasn’t been an installment in this series since PGA Tour 2K21, which came out in 2020. So PGA Tour 2K23 is a homecoming of sorts.
