PGA Tour 2K23, releasing on October 14, 2022, will launch with 20 courses to play, ranging from East coast to West, with the highlands and deserts in-between. Golf fans and interested players alike will be able to test their mettle against the same holes as the pros. With PGA Tour 2K21 as a guide to the new release, PGA Tour 2K23 will offer experiences ranging from arcade game to in-depth golf simulation.
The PGA Tour video game series offers intricately recreated real-world courses, and the newest game is no different with 20 courses diligently portrayed in-game. However, PGA Tour 2K21 also offered a course designer allowing the community to create their own beautiful links or chaotic monstrosities, with the latter often being the most fun the game had to offer. That is not to say the primary career mode was lacking; playing in tournaments, ranking up, and cashing in to buy the best gear was a satisfying single-player experience. All in all, PGA Tour 2K23 is expected to be equally packed full of content.
As a new entry in the franchise which spans over three decades, PGA Tour 2K23 has a lot to live up to as the latest in-depth golf simulator, and there seems to be no reason to worry. With the backbone already built for the previous game, 2K Sports and HB Studios have a winning formula that does not require much tweaking. With great excitement, PGA Tour 2K23 has a Tiger Woods cover once again, returning the iconic golfer to the series that was once named after him.
PGA Tour 2K23 Will Release With 20 Licensed Courses
The PGA Tour franchise has existed in many forms since its inception in the 90s, the most recognizable being the arcade cabinets that had players control their swings with a roller ball. Even from its earliest home console iterations, PGA Tour has been known to deliver authentic recreations of the world's most famed golf courses, and 2K23's 20 licensed courses will be no exception. At launch, PGA Tour 2K23 will include the following courses:
- Atlantic Beach Country Club
- Bay Hill Golf Club & Lodge (Arnold Palmer Course)
- Copperhead (Innisbrook)
- Detroit Golf Club
- East Lake Golf Club
- Quail Hollow Club
- Riviera Country Club
- St George’s Golf and Country Club
- The Renaissance Club
- TPC Boston
- TPC Deere Run
- TPC Louisiana
- TPC River Highlands
- TPC San Antonio
- TPC Sawgrass
- TPC Scottsdale
- TPC Southwind
- TPC Summerlin
- TPC Twin Cities
- Wilmington Country Club (South Course)
With a wide variety and impressively recognizable list for even the golf adjacent, PGA Tour 2K23 appears to be a worthy addition to the franchise. Bringing legendary golfer Tiger Woods back with an exclusive 2K deal, and allowing players to emulate or beat him in golf on their own virtual green is thrilling. Finally, a new entry will bring new life to the community, bringing a flood of new custom courses and an active multiplayer environment to complement the already robust lineup of courses.
