2K made the announcement official via their Twitter account, which included a celebratory video hyping up the highly awaited return of the former face of professional golfing to the long-running golf simulator franchise.
The Future of PGA Tour 2K Is Looking Good
With Tiger Woods secured, 2K will have another star to draw in players to its PGA Tour games. More importantly, the exclusive deal will also extend to other golfing games published by 2K during the length of the partnership.
In addition to exclusively, Tiger Woods will also act as both a consultant and executive director for PGA Tour. Meanwhile, 2K will also work closely with Woods' TGR Foundation to help students in need of help with their academic needs.
PGA Tour has definitely seen better days. The lack of professional golfing legends as playable characters has affected public reception of the PGA Tour titles, specifically, PGA Tour 2K21. However, by signing Tiger Woods to an exclusivity deal, 2K has just brought in one of the biggest stars in the game. This will hopefully make it easier to sign others.
With that said, this is hardly the first time that Tiger Woods has appeared in a video game. He was formerly the poster boy of the PGA Tour titles published by EA from 1998 all the way until 2013. But, following a series of controversies, the golfing star was replaced by Rory McIlroy. Unfortunately, Woods did not retain his position for too long.
