2K revealed iconic Welsh athlete and avid golfer Gareth Bale is making his PGA TOUR 2K23 debut as a playable golfer, available today to all players.
Best known as one of the fastest players and greatest wingers of his generation, Bale’s reputation on the football pitch precedes him. But his love of golf and talent on the fairways may take some by surprise. His passion for the sport is undeniable: He built a replica of the famous 17th hole “Island Green” at TPC Sawgrass in his backyard and has competed in pro-am tournaments. Decked out with TaylorMade gear and clubs, Bale joins the likes of Tiger Woods, Nelly Korda, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Jon Rahm, Lydia Ko, Tony Finau, Brooke Henderson and Xander Schauffele, as well as celebrity guests, including Michael Jordan, Stephen Curry, John Cena and the Dude Perfect crew on the PGA TOUR 2K23 roster.
In addition to appearing as a playable golfer, Bale provided guidance to VctryLnSprts to design his dream course, The Elevens Club, using PGA TOUR 2K23’s Course Designer. Featuring many of Bale’s preferred elements, such as big trees, undulating fairways and greens, water hazards, and a scenic waterfall on the eleventh hole, The Elevens Club is available today and free to all players. Players can take on a series of new challenges and earn in-game rewards by playing as Bale and testing their skills on The Elevens Club.
PGA TOUR 2K23’s Course Designer is also receiving updates with the new Asian Architecture Pack available today, featuring both traditional and modern Asian-inspired design elements, including skyscrapers, pagodas, lanterns and lettering.
Also coming October 2 is the Halloween Pack, which will feature spooky autumn elements including jack-o-lanterns, graves and tombstones, allowing players to add a chilling touch to their custom courses.
PGA TOUR 2K23 Deluxe Edition, Tiger Woods Edition and Standard Edition are available now for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation®5 (PS5™), PlayStation®4 (PS4™) and Steam.
