In addition to being one of the greatest golfers to ever play, Tiger Woods is an icon in the video game industry. His series of golf video games was beloved by fans and dominated the space in the 2000s, and after a long absence, the 15-time major champion is officially making a return to the virtual course with 2K.
On Tuesday, 2K announced that Tiger Woods has agreed to an exclusive, long-term deal to appear in the PGA Tour 2K franchise. 2K has also acquired PGA Tour 2K21 developer HB Studios. Woods will serve as an Executive Director and consultant on PGA Tour 2K for future releases.
