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.

“I am looking forward to making my return to the video game landscape, and with 2K and HB Studios, I’ve found the right partners to make it happen. I’m honored to take part in this opportunity and look forward to sharing my expertise and insights as we build the future of golf video games together,” Woods said in January.
