Golf legend Tiger Woods is coming back to video games, a platform he once dominated as thoroughly as he did the links.
Woods is teaming up with developer 2K on a long-term partnership, it was announced on Tuesday, which will allow for the 15-time major winner’s digital likeness to appear exclusively in the “PGA Tour 2K” series.
Woods previously had a near monopoly on the golf gaming industry with his hugely popular “Tiger Woods PGA Tour” series of video games, produced by the famed EA Sports, which ran for 15 years.
“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,” Woods said in a statement released by 2K. “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.”
Tiger and EA parted ways in 2013, with his career at a relative low point amid a series of injuries and several years of unflattering headlines regarding his infidelity and divorce.
The game got a reboot in 2015 without Tiger, and with Rory McIlroy as the cover star, but it got subpar reviews and was discontinued.
It was unclear whether Tiger will grace the cover of the game, the Associated Press reported. A 2K news release said he’ll serve as an executive director and consultant.
The news comes about a month after Woods suffered serious leg injuries in a crash in a Los Angeles suburb. Official updates on his condition have been relatively scarce, but McIlroy said last week during an appearance on “The Tonight Show” that Woods was hoping to return home to continue his recovery within a week or two.
“Tiger Woods PGA Tour” sold millions of copies throughout its decade-plus run, and was a hit with a generation of sports-loving gamers much the way “Madden NFL” was for football fans.
