2K & HB Studios Vows This Round Will Be Better Than The Last With ‘PGA Tour 2K25’

After skipping 2024, 2K and HB Studios video game golf franchise is back with PGA Tour 2K25, promising this round will be better.

After confirming that PGA Tour 2K executive director Tiger Woods would return as a cover athlete and joined by other professional golfers Matt Fitzpatrick and Max Homa, HB Studios delivered the first gameplay trailer for PGA 2K25.

Six-time PGA Tour winner Max Homa and 2K sponsored athlete Matt Fitzpatrick will join Woods on the Standard and Deluxe Editions of PGA Tour 2K25 covers. Woods will once again own the cover of the Legend Edition of the game.

The game will also include Justin Thomas, Tony Finau, Lydia Ko, Tom Kim, Brooke Henderson, and more professional golfers.

Tiger Woods On PGA Tour 2K25

“Some of my most iconic moments, unforgettable hole outs and dominant victories took place at the Majors,” said Woods. “In PGA TOUR 2K25, players can step onto the tee box and create unforgettable moments as their customizable MyPLAYERs, my fellow cover athletes Matt Fitzpatrick and Max Homa, or even me.”

“We are beyond thrilled to showcase the best golfer of all time in Tiger alongside two of today’s top golfers on the TOUR with Matt and Max,” said Dennis Ceccarelli, Senior Vice President of sports at 2K. “The development team at HB Studios delivered an innovative experience for casual and hardcore golf fans alike, featuring new archetypes, iconic major tournaments including the “Home of Golf” with St. Andrews, and so much more. PGA TOUR 2K25 will be one fans don’t want to miss.”

“We are so excited that a new installment of the PGA TOUR 2K franchise is on its way this year,” said Len Brown, Chief of Global Business Ventures at the PGA TOUR. “The game captures the beauty of our sport, and it has become an integral part of the PGA TOUR fan experience. The cover stars are exemplary representatives of the TOUR and really showcase today’s top talent in the sport.”
