PGA Tour 2K25 has unveiled the golfing athletes and stunning artwork that will grace the covers of the latest addition to the golf sports simulation series. The game follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, with Justin Thomas, a five-time PGA Tour event winner and former world number one, gracing the cover of 2K21, and Tiger Woods, a World Golf Hall of Famer and second-ranked in men’s major championships, on the cover of 2K23. Now, PGA Tour 2K25 features three popular players: Tiger Woods, Max Homa, and Matt Fitzpatrick.
Originally known as The Golf Club, the series kicked off with its first title in 2014, followed by sequels in 2017 and 2018. The series was rebranded as PGA Tour for the 2K21 release in 2020 and the 2K23 release in 2022. With 13 EA games, including Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, scheduled to shut down in 2025, golf enthusiasts can look forward to immersing themselves in PGA Tour 2K25.
The PGA Tour 2K25 Twitter account recently announced two covers for the Standard and Deluxe Editions, showcasing Tiger Woods, an 82-time PGA Tour winner, alongside Max Homa, with six PGA Tour wins, and Matt Fitzpatrick, with two PGA Tour victories. The artwork, presented in a striking watercolor style, has generated significant buzz and excitement. Fans have lauded the covers as "gorgeous," particularly appreciating Woods’ iconic US Open celebratory pose featured on the standard cover. Given his stature in the sport, Woods is humorously predicted to be on the cover of a hypothetical 2K38, as one fan jokingly remarked.
The release date for PGA Tour 2K25 is set for February 28, 2025, and the golfing community has expressed a desire for more sports games to adopt a similar release schedule, favoring a spread-out timeframe over annual releases. After a three-year gap since the last PGA Tour game, fans have warmly received the new artwork for 2K25.
