For the gamers out there, it's been way too long — OK, only two years — since the last release of the PGA Tour 2K series. The newest version, PGA Tour 2K23, will be launched Oct. 11 and 14 with the return of the G.O.A.T., Tiger Woods, to the game and its cover. Woods will be joined in the game by such players as Justin Thomas, Will Zalatoris, Collin Morikawa, Lydia Ko, Brooke Henderson and Lexi Thompson — and with more to come as downloadable content. There have been upgrades to the game, but one that won't be included — but that many fans might want to see — is a LIV Golf format.
