2K Games has announced the release date for PGA Tour 2K25, following the recent cover athlete reveal. The game promises significant upgrades in modes, mechanics, and visuals, along with more licensed courses and events. Players can choose from Standard, Deluxe, and Legend Editions, each offering unique perks.
Previously known as The Golf Club, the series rebranded to PGA Tour 2K in 2020. Developed by HB Studios, it's a highly popular golf simulation game. Following the release of 2K23 three years ago, many gamers appreciate the series' less frequent release schedule compared to annual titles like EA Sports FC.
Announced via the game's official Twitter account, PGA Tour 2K25 tees off on February 28, 2025. Pre-orders are now open for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, with details available on the official PGA Tour 2K website. Following the success of PGA Tour 2K21, which is considered one of the best golf games ever, expectations are high for 2K25 to deliver a similarly impressive experience.
The stunning cover art, revealed on January 13th, featured Tiger Woods' return alongside Max Homa and Matt Fitzpatrick, generating significant excitement. The release date announcement, accompanied by a 30-second trailer, has been met with positive feedback, with many praising the improved graphics compared to 2K23. Some fans even considered the announcement a welcome early present. 2K confirmed in online comments that major tournaments will be playable, despite the absence of Augusta National due to EA's exclusive licensing rights.
January 2025 marks the end of two EA Sports titles, including one of the last remaining PGA Tour games on current consoles. Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, the 23rd entry in that franchise, will shut down its servers on January 16, 2025, ending online functionality and achievement completion. However, the anticipation surrounding the new PGA Tour 2K title is helping to keep golf gaming fans engaged.
