Golfing icon Tiger Woods will continue to make his mark in the sport after inking an exclusive, long-term deal with PGA Tour 2K. In addition, 2K will also be acquiring the privately-owned HB Studios Multimedia Ltd. which developed PGA Tour 2K21 and The Golf Club franchises, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2021.

“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,” said Tiger Woods. “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.”

The new collaboration between the two sides will allow 2K to use Woods' name and likeness which will appear on the PGA Tour 2K franchise moving forward. The 11-Time PGA Tour Player of the Year will also have a hand in the gaming scene as he will serve as the Executive Director and consultant for PGA Tour 2K. In addition, 2K will also partner with Woods' TGR Foundation which aims to provide educational opportunities for underserved students.

2K truly knows the importance of Woods to the sport which led them to make an easy decision to offer a role and agree to a long-term deal with him.

“In golf, there is no bigger icon than Tiger Woods. Like the rest of the world, we were saddened to hear of his recent accident, and we wish him a full and smooth recovery,” said David Ismailer, President at 2K. “We have been eager to announce our partnership with Tiger, whose legendary career has transcended the sport. We are thrilled to have him join our PGA TOUR 2K series as an Executive Director.”

The 45-year-old golfer is currently recovering from a severe road accident in the Los Angeles Area back in late February. The leg injuries that he sustained from the crash have already put his career in jeopardy. Though the public will not see the legend back on the golf course anytime soon, they can be assured that they can still spot Tiger Woods on the upcoming renditions of the PGA Tour 2K franchise moving forward.
